Don't be so hard on yourself, even after 20+ years of .NET dev there are still things I can be a bit forgetful about, such as this UI annoyance.

So much of this is because developers work on high-end systems with a ridiculously fast internet connection (whether at home or work). It isn't super-hard to fix this, but does take effort/time/money. For example, test on slow devices on slow connections. There are proxies that can throttle and introduce latency, or even let random connections timeout. There's a catch-22 here though: doing this early in a product's l…
There really is very little excuse for it, throttling is built right into the dev tools of both Chromium and Firefox, it's a couple of clicks away. It's as important as cross browser testing and easier to do. Another thing I've noticed a lot of sites are very poorly optimised for is latency. HTTP 1.1 is already poor in this regard due to the number of round trips required for setup, and when you start chaining these…
Do people even do that nowadays?
Lately my internet connection has been ridiculously bad. It made me realise how often UX is ignored for bad connections. One of the things I notice with SPAs is that since the browser navigation does not occur normally, I get no indication from my browser that a link is loading, so the app is completely responsible of adding their own navigation indicators (which is uncommon to see in the wild). Also sort of unrelate…
I made a few CSS-only single `div` loaders a while back, it was a fun challenge to make them interesting while only using a single div. https://codepen.io/snowbillr/pen/QEagmW
These are absolutely beautiful. I can't seem to find a license anywhere. Are they public domain?
I did assume this was a webpack or otherwise package for loading css libraries. Took me a while to work out what it actually was. Probably because I’ve had such headaches with webpack within rails and would love something to make it disappear (yes I know there are newer solutions but each one breaks things in new and unique ways).
Yeah. I also had to get down past all of their points before I saw the images to understand what this is. And one of the points ironically said that it didn't waste my time. I've never heard the term "loader" being used here. Since a loader would be something that loads. These don't load anything, they just indicate that loading us happening. I typically call these "spinners" or sometimes "throbers" as that is what t…
I associated 'css-loader' with a Webpack loader for css: https://webpack.js.org/loaders/#styling
