Custom Skeleton Loaders

[lottiecoxon]

Introducing PostHogs very own custom loaders

Moving away from Ant Design's skeleton loader we want to create a custom skeleton loader for our product. This will level up the user experience and create a more polished look to the dashboard. Currently with Ant Design, the skeleton loader is basic and universal - while this has worked well for the time being, it would be better to have loaders that represent the product more accurately.

Describe the solution you'd like

A new table skeleton loader default as well as 6 unique insight loaders that represent the different insights we provide. This is accompanied by color work as well as gradient size and timings- I would like to test this before shipping so may need some help from engineering in this department.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Custom table skeleton loaders for different layouts- overall this would be too much effort and not gain us that much.

• More artistic and conceptual insight loaders - we soon realised that this was misleading having loaders that didn't closely represent what was inside the app. (example below)

Additional context

• Ant Design
• Figma

Thank you for your feature request – we love each and every one!
