Summary
Fixes #23
The Problem
When loading the app, the sidebar shows blank white space for 3+ seconds while content loads. This makes the page look broken, as described in the issue.
The Solution
Add a loading skeleton that appears immediately while the sidebar content loads asynchronously. The skeleton mimics the sidebar structure:
Implementation
Uses the same pattern as
accounts/users/_next_page_container.html.erb:sidebar_turbo_frame_tagis called withsrc:and no block, render the skeletonChanges
app/views/users/sidebars/_loading_skeleton.html.erb- New skeleton partialapp/helpers/users/sidebar_helper.rb- Render skeleton whensrcprovidedapp/assets/stylesheets/application/sidebar.css- Skeleton styles with pulse animationBrowser Support
Uses CSS variables already defined in the codebase. Animation works in all modern browsers.
