When loading group pages, "no datasets available" displayed for 0.5s #353

Closed corneliusroemer closed 3 years ago

corneliusroemer commented 3 years ago

Low severity Current Behavior
When loading a group page like https://nextstrain.org/groups/swiss/ the first render (after ca. 300ms) contains the incorrect statement Available dataset: None found which then gets replaced by the correct page only after 500ms.

Expected behavior
If a dataset is available, the user does not get told that there is no available dataset, even for only 500ms

Possible solution
Show a spinner, while data is awaited or show None found only after 1-2s after page load, leaving a white page till then.

Closing this as recent PRs have completely changed how these splash pages render so that we now have a "Data loading" page replaced by the final version. Spinners (#304) would make things even better!
