The loading state on user pages is currently not meeting user expectations for clarity and responsiveness. Users have reported confusion and frustration due to the lack of clear loading indicators when accessing these pages. This issue impacts the user experience by not providing immediate feedback that content is loading, which can be mistaken for a lack of content or a malfunctioning page.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Navigate to the platform and log in.
Click on any user profile to view their page.
Observe the behavior of the page as it loads content.
Expected behavior
When accessing any user page, there should be a clear and visible indication that content is loading. This should be a skeleton loader. The indicator should be prominent enough to reassure users that the page is functioning as intended while they wait for the content to load fully.
Actual behavior
Currently, user pages either show a blank state for an extended period or display the content abruptly without any prior indication that it was loading. This absence of a loading indicator leads to user confusion and dissatisfaction, as it's unclear whether the delay is due to slow loading times or if the page is unresponsive.
Additional context
Improving the loading state on user pages is crucial for enhancing user satisfaction and perceived performance of the platform. A well-designed loading indicator can significantly improve the user experience by setting the right expectations and reducing perceived wait times.
