Description
Proposal
For each collection add samples that show collection item placeholders while loading data to XAML Controls Gallery and WinUI 3 Controls Gallery apps
Summary
Usually, when you don't have any data in your app immediately you want to show some placeholders (probably animated) that show the user that the data is being loaded.
Something similar to https://flutterappworld.com/flutter-listview-and-gridview-that-shows-loading-widgets/ or https://react-bootstrap.github.io/components/placeholder/
Rationale
- Makes an impression that the content is almost there
- Allows to keep user's attention longer
- There is no such sample available yet
Scope
| Capability | Priority |
|---|---|
| This proposal will allow developers to quickly add placeholders to collection items | Must |
| This proposal will allow end-users to keep attention to the app longer | Must |
