Page loading

[julian]

We could reintroduce prefetching again :shipit:

Untitled.png on my Desktop was not the Untitled.png in my pictures folder.

Heh, could have been worse..

I don't like the fade either. Feels like the computer freezes up. Very annoying.

[jarey]

I have to agree on this, don't like the feeling of the animation. Can't explain why, but feels strange.

Maybe just a loading gif like Discourse's.

I like such type of loader - http://victorbjelkholm.github.io/ngProgress/ for single page applications

[psychobunny]

The thing is, we don't really need a loader, we artificially delay the animations so that it feels "natural". If it was instantaneous UX wise it would feel like you're loading a cached page

[Nicolas]

It does not look instantaneous, data should be fetched still from the backend and transferred to the client

@psychobunny As for effect, crossfade is more natural, than white shade. For most users - white shade is synonym to unresponsive application

Lavender used to have one of those. It was ok. But wasn't really necessary. It does seem silly to artificially delay a page when "page load is as quick as a cached page" would be a selling point.

Yeah, I don't disagree. I said I'd look into this a few weeks ago but clearly I've forgotten about it.

There, now that it's an issue I'll definitely get right on it :trollface:
