Hi Team 👋

My app is heavily using Glide AI and when I’m generating a text, there’s no indication of what is happening.

How to show an animated loader indicator while waiting for the result?

Use an animated gif in an image component, and set the visibility so that it shows when the result column is empty.

Is my new loader cute?

Where to get good quality loader gif for free?

Lottie’s gif is not usable at all…
