- Our latest Tech Take episode gets into one of the most overlooked parts of product design: loading states. As designers, we love to obsess over finished screens, but the in-between moments are where trust is built (or lost).
- Skeleton loaders, spinners, previews… they aren’t just filler. They’re the direct translation of how data flows, how fast systems respond, and how dev decisions surface to the user.Sep 23, 2025 22:21
- It's often where design intent meets dev reality. Miss the mark, and the product feels clunky or broken. Nail it, and even a 10-second wait feels intentional.

- If you’re a designer who wants to understand the real interplay between design and development, this one’s for you. Check out the full episode here and let us know what you think! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa5n...
