ProgressSpinner

When to use

Use for actions taking 2-10 seconds where you cannot predict completion time. Users with progress indicators wait on average 3x longer than those without feedback.

Guidelines

  • <1 second: No indicator needed
  • 2-10 seconds: Use spinner (this component)
  • >10 seconds: Use ProgressBar with percent/estimate
  • Add text context: "Loading comments..." is better than a bare spinner
