Easy and fast loading indicators for your SPA.

 

lowa is library that makes displaying a loading indicator for your SPA easy and fast. While it comes packaged with prebuilt UI components, it also provides the flexibility to provide your own.

lowa aims to speed up the process of getting a loader rendered on the screen by asynchronously loading styles and fonts that are usually render blocking. The library and accompanying loading indicator is lightweight and intended to be added inline your html document.
