Cards in this group · 7
- I2.01.1Use a skeleton when the forthcoming structure is predictable
- I2.01.2When structure cannot be predicted, use an indeterminate indicator
- I2.01.3A skeleton that does not match real structure produces a jump
- I2.01.4Skeletons reduce subjective wait estimates more than spinners
- I2.01.5An indicator on a very short load creates needless flicker
- I2.01.6A spinner carries no progress and, used for long, is read as frozen
- I2.01.7Skeleton motion needs one shared cadence; mixed breathing looks cheap
