Animated loading dots
For AI Agents
Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.
Best for: A row of 3 dots that bounce on staggered delays, drawn as plain spans in the primary color, with no icon
When to use
- Pending states inside buttons, status badges and search fields while a request runs
- Loading views for a card or an empty panel, including blurred covers over content being refreshed
- Inline notes such as checking, syncing or reconnecting, led by a small tinted spinner or bouncing dots
When not to use
- A rotating icon that announces itself to screen readers as loading: use the Spinner Basic example
- Content of a known layout, held as muted placeholder shapes until it arrives: use the Skeleton component
- A wait where the share of work done is known, such as an upload percent: use the Progress component
- A save control that tracks its own pending and done states after a click: use the Button component
Agent notes
- The dots are bare
spanelements with no status role or label, so screen readers hear nothing; give the wrapper both - No example holds a pending flag and
disabledis hardcoded where it appears; show the indicator and lock controls from your own request state
