react-content-loader VS Lottie for Android, iOS, and React Native

What's great about is that you can design your loading screens on their site: https://skeletonreact.com/

React Content Loader - SVG-Powered component to easily create placeholder loadings (like Facebook’s cards loading).

This is a Vue port for react-content-loader.

TL;DR; You can reduce the number of queries you make on listing pages by loading content as it gets displayed. Use react-intersection-observer to detect when an element becomes visible and react-content-loader to display a contentful placeholder loader.

I use https://github.com/danilowoz/react-content-loader can create skeletons with svgs. might sound confusing at first but it works well, is performant and does the job. https://skeletonreact.com/ Firstly check this website out see if they already have what you need in their presets

I eventually ended up combining react-intersection-observer and react-content-loader to create a progressive loading experience where elements get loaded as they become visible to users.

The current UX trend is to use some kind of a placeholder animation while loading pieces of UI. react-content-loader is a popular npm package for this use case. It is customizable, supports react and react-native, has some bundled presets, and actually supports SVG animation out of the box.

Worth mentioning that After Effects can export CSS/SVG/canvas animations with the free bodymovin/Lottie plugin. This is my personal go to for creating web key frame animations and elements.

Not every after effects feature is exportable, but it’s the best and most reliable solution I’ve found for this type of workflow, maybe due in part though to my previous experience with AE.

A smooth and visually appealing on-boarding experience can greatly impact how users perceive the quality of your app. In my previous article, we explored how to create custom splash screens on Fire TV apps to optimize the startup time and improve user experience. Building on that knowledge we will take a step further and learn how to develop an animated splash screen using Lottie for Fire TV applications.

I'd suggest Lottie with a JSON animation file

Lottie[1], an Adobe After Effects plugin, fills a gap in vector animation authoring and is quite widely used (primarily in mobile applications but also works on the web, Discord for example supports them for stickers).

It's a pity SVG animation authoring tools never eventuated since it's an underutilized native format.

Unity can export to WebGL/WASM, so that's one option if you're making some kind of heavy interactive experience and you don't mind waiting for it to load. For just animations there are tools like Lottie that can help. I think things are generally a lot more fragmented than they were in the Flash/Shockwave days though.
