Design request: loading/in queue

[alltheseas]

context

Sometimes I see in a note nostr:npub123 words and nostr dot build image dot jpg without rendering.

After a few moments of scrolling on my feed, these npub and image artifacts render.

Currently Damus does not display a "loading" state to the user, and the user can leave with the impression that damus is not successfully loading notes.

suggestion

Design a fun Damus static image that displays e.g. "Da-moose is searching for your note."

Not sure if animated Da-moose will be to much.

This happens 1% of the time to me

There is also a loading state during boot-up. It becomes more apparent during poor mobile connection

nostrdb local relay model fixes this, we parse the note before returning it from a subscription

Wen nostrdb 😅

One more example

Today experienced on slow mobile: 1) mute list loading significantly later than notes from muted users. Said notes displayed for tens of seconds, then disappeared 2) replied to a post that seemed to have no other replies, only to see five replies after posting

What do yall think: replace standard iOS load animation with spinning damoose 👀

On poor internet, it takes over 20 seconds to load a profile. No loading mechanism can leave the user confused
