Best Practices & Guidelines

GitHub README Usage

Use status loaders like 'coming-soon' or 'work-in-progress' for clear project communication. Keep dimensions reasonable (width: 200-400px) for optimal mobile viewing.

Performance Optimization

Choose appropriate animation speeds (1-3s) and sizes (<200px) for fast loading. Use reduced motion parameters for accessibility compliance.

Accessibility First

Always include descriptive alt text and consider users with motion sensitivities. Use high contrast colors and semantic color choices.

Brand Consistency

Match loader colors to your project branding and maintain consistent styles across repositories for professional appearance.

Context Appropriateness

Select loader types that match your content context. Use scientific loaders for research projects, neon effects for gaming, etc.

Future-Proofing

Use semantic parameters and avoid hardcoded values. Consider how loaders will appear in both light and dark themes.
