ability to spit out update status at desired location in terminal #2

Open devmondo opened 5 years ago

Hi, what is awesome about this spinner, is that it updates the spinner at the same location in terminal it started. but sometimes after the spinner starts I want to log some text while the task is processing, this means if there is a lot of text output, the user will have to scroll back to the spinner start position in terminal to check if it succeeded or failed.

so could we have an option in this case, where we start the spinner, then at some point in future when we decide to do an update with success or fail, we can spit that to the terminal at the desired location?

hope i made it clear enough, thanks in advance.
