Skeleton loader and reveal
curatedfreetransitions/skeleton-reveal
A placeholder that loads then reveals real content — list rows, cards, profile headers. The skeleton pulses, then both layers cross-fade with a matching cross-blur. Bring your own bars / avatar / text; the skeleton stays in the same slot as the content so the swap is layout-free.
