How to use it

  • Match the real height and the real number of rows — a mismatch makes the page jump
  • Use it for a first load; reloading a list people already saw, keep the old content and show a spinner
  • It fills a whole block, not one or two small fields

Watch out for

  • Hide the shapes with aria-hidden and leave one spoken line beside them
  • Don't shimmer forever — when the load fails, swap in an error state
