This is simply a reflection of the depth of design (visual and user experience). I'm saying contemporary UX and UI mostly ignore, or are ignorant of, the platform being used and its features. That's not necessarily the case with shoelace, the loading is simply a design decision made to look nice and I presume not much more. The shoelace component system is ok. It reflects a lot of work applicable to what has been possible and borrows from what has been possible the past few years. I find it interesting to see the details in systems and approach and would avoid using this product myself. I haven't reviewed it enough to get past the general impression that it's too complex to be worth the investment and has some weaknesses in the system and technical design. If I were doing a masters in visual communications it would definitely be worth a look, or if I wanted to lead a new project like it as well--to take the understanding of the problems and approaches.
