While the API request fetches, we can display a loading message or placeholder.

Currently a generic loading message:

Maybe instead of "Your posts are loading," we say "Posts incoming ..." and use the … entity. Or, we could animate the . . . in and out while the posts load, like:

. .. ... .. . etc.

Might also look nice italic.

Condensed all the placeholder displays into one Placeholder component.

Also tried an animation that looks kind of ridiculous for the index screen, but once #16's implemented we shouldn't need that.

Animation's been killed, looks weird with preloading. Considering this done.
