Documents skeletons for dynamic content only, use of aria-busy on loading regions, and removing busy state once loaded.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infinite spinner | Flag this anti-pattern when a spinner or busy overlay can continue without a timeout, elapsed status, retry, cancel, fallback, or failure state. | The loading state is tied to a specific region, action, or object instead of freezing the entire interface without explanation. | Nord documents removing busy state after dynamic content loads, supporting the requirement that loading states resolve instead of continuing indefinitely. |
| Loading skeleton | Choose skeletons when the final content layout is known enough to reserve stable space. | Skeleton placeholders are not focusable, clickable, selectable, or announced as real content. | Nord documents dynamic-content skeletons, aria-busy regions, and removing busy state after load. |
