Generation animation / slow down rendering of headline #16

Open shannonwells opened 7 years ago

In order to simplify routes, simplify the initial URL, and increase user satisfaction, the home page should not have a pre-generated headline on the initial render. Instead,

  1. render a blank slate containing an animated generation graphic as a placeholder
  2. make an ajax call to generate a new headline
  3. allow a timeout of about 1-2 seconds before rendering the new headline.

NB: Studies have shown that people respond better and feel more satisfied if they have to wait a small amount of time for their results.
