Add topbar loader
Daniel Skov Jacobsen
I don't support this idea. The project should not be bloated with a lot of opinionated stuff. Might be some people like to have a topbar indicator for a specific reason or requirement, but there's also a lot that dont want it. Since this is a small and easy task for anyone to do, it shouldn't be a default.
You can very easily add that to any project, but since you're asking you might be looking for a package to help you do that: https://github.com/TheSGJ/nextjs-toploader or just ask an AI Coding agent to implement a custom solution tailored for your specific project, it's a simple thing.

Daniel Skov Jacobsen Yes, I understand your point but one issue at the moment is if the user is having a slow connection, there's no indicator that the request is still loading. I found a similar feature request and it it under review - https://achromatic.canny.io/feature-requests/p/improving-ux-on-slow-networks-add-a-loading-indicator.

Sketch Minds I don't question the idea, I fully agree that for some apps with some users, this might be a good idea to add. But its is so simple to do so my suggestion is to leave it optional. I generally don't encourage to create bloated software packages with all kinds of features. Its better to have a solid rock as a starterkit that you can rely on to build great product with, than a big mountain of features where your first task is to remove all the stuff you dont need for the particular product - specially all these small simple features that takes minutes too add should not be something other should start by removing..
