Display a spinner while loading grid data #22

Closed waldoj closed 8 years ago

It takes enough time for the grid data to be loaded from Google Sheets for somebody to wonder "is this it?" Display a spinner while awaiting that data loads.

Tabletop.js doesn't appear to have any kind of baked-in support for this, but surely there's a jQuery way to do this.

OK, I think this is pretty straightforward. See this example.

Basically, we display a GIF in the table, and just hide that GIF when Tabletop.init() finishes.

There's also a library available for this, if you want to go that route: https://fgnass.github.io/spin.js/

Oh, that seems civilized. Thanks!
