little detail: use placeholders on startup #326

Closed mjourdan closed 6 years ago

mjourdan commented 6 years ago

Here is a small suggestion to improve the UX.

Expected Behavior

Gradio immediately displays the library.

Current Behavior

During a short but still noticeable time, a message says the library is empty. This makes the user worry she has lost her collection.

Steps to Reproduce

Cold start gradio.

Detailed Description

On startup, the library should show as many placeholders as there are items in the library, and progressively replace them with actual content while loading.

I'm currently completely rewriting Gradio in Rust with a new adaptive user interface (compatible to Librem5). This is more or less already fixed in the rust_port branch. The rust version is going to be the next version of Gradio (probably 8.0).

Thank you for the answer. Thanks much for keeping improving Gradio, I remember a time where the ui felt a bit crowded, but since 6.0 I think it turn to be very neat. Can't wait to see the new adaptive interface!
