What is Shimmer Effect

Shimmer UI is a user interface that uses a moving animation to indicate that a web page or app is loading. It is used to enhance the user experience by displaying a placeholder similar to the actual content until the real data loads.

That's it. I'm not providing a specific example—you are capable enough to understand this and develop it using any library or your own CSS and HTML. Display this component until the isLoading value is true.

Request a Topic

Want me to write notes on a course?

Tell me the course, book, or research topic you want covered. If it helps learners, I'll consider adding structured digital notes for it in the garden.

Collaborate

Have a notes collection to feature here?

Do you have open notes you want featured in this digital garden? Let me know — we can collaborate and publish them for learners worldwide.
