thinking-orbs

Why we included this project

When a chat interface just sits there with a frozen spinner, the whole interaction feels broken. thinking-orbs gives you nine distinct animated states, each hand-tuned for a different agent action, rendered on a plain 2D canvas with no WebGL or filters, so it behaves the same in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Two preset sizes cover chat-avatar and inline-text contexts, and the theme picks dark or light mode from the host project automatically, even following live OS theme changes. It also handles the details you would otherwise have to build yourself: per-state aria-labels, reduced-motion fallbacks, and pausing when the tab is hidden or the element scrolls offscreen. If you want polished, agent-aware loading feedback without hand-rolling the animation, this is a focused, dependency-light option worth trying.
