@cynicalgrinch exactly, i dont remember last time i saw one of those being used.. you typically dont wait that long unless its an app loading some massive interface but by then i would have already left :P
@cynicalgrinch @davidchase03 Yeah, the use cases for something like this are limited to apps that have to do a lot of preloading before they are useful, like Slack, Asana, etc. I wouldn't want to see this on a news page or something similar
Very nicely built. Love the simplicity and the appeal. I agree with @davidchase03 about not wanting to see this unless it's an app loading some huge interface. Regardless, really nice and I see many possible uses for it.
Nice, we use similar messages on http://demo.pitchxo.com and within the app - also inspired by Slack. Inside our app we also add a "load-out", which shows a relevant icon of the area the user wants to navigate to.
E.g. clicking on 'user profile', will fade out the current screen and show a bigger centered user profile icon + section name.

Love the random messages. We tried the same for http://www.buzzminer.co/ inspired by Slack.
@ninjafl0w nope, it's fine for mobile too. The code is a small snippet of JS & CSS that hides the main body and shows it again when your site is ready.
@johnmabower no, not really. It's up on Bower and Github, which don't really track those things.
Hey there, this is another project of ours (@Pathgather). Glad you guys like it!
