🧠 Ever wondered why some apps feel smoother… even when they’re loading?
It’s not magic — it’s fallback UX.
Yesterday, I shared how React Suspense powers lazy loading.
Today, I’m breaking down 3 fallback UI patterns every frontend dev should know.
🔁 Types of Fallback UI
Here’s what I explored:
🔹 Spinner – Classic, but gives no context
🔹 Skeleton – Mimics the final layout, feels faster
🔹 Placeholder – Useful when waiting for images or avatars
📊 I’ve attached a simple visual to show how these differ — save it for your next project.
🧠 My Insight
Fallbacks aren’t just about showing “loading...”
They’re about:
-->Setting expectations
-->Reducing user anxiety
-->Keeping experiences alive, even during wait times
