RAXXO replaces loading spinners with content-shaped placeholders

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer at RAXXO has implemented a new UI pattern across their tools to eliminate perceived loading times. Instead of using traditional spinners, which can signal a frozen application, RAXXO tools now display a placeholder that mimics the exact layout of the content that is about to load. This placeholder is populated with the last known valid state of the content, creating a seamless transition when the new data is ready. This approach, guided by three core rules—matching layout, holding the last state, and avoiding non-informative motion—has been applied to improve user experience, particularly in interactive tools like Statusline Builder.
