🎯 UX / UI Best Practice

- Use Skeleton Loading instead of Spinner if the data takes more than 1-2 seconds to load because the user perceives that the content is coming.

- Show percentage or Step when progress can be calculated

- Use messages that reduce concerns, such as "Processing..."Or" AI is analyzing data..."

- Don't use animations that are too fast or complicated because they may disturb your eyes.

- For Infinite Scroll, it should be said to be loaded and notified when no further information is available.

- If the load lasts more than 10 seconds, there should be a choice such as Retry or Cancel.
