Shimmer background slide

Reimplements skeleton loading with authored placeholder blocks whose highlight stripe moves by animating gradient background-position across each surface.

Wide cards + long horizontal runway

Harbor Dock

Harbor Dock moves a broad shimmer lane from far right to left so feed cards feel like a steady scanner light instead of a flash.

background-position-x 168% → -142% with a 236% stripe canvas and level y anchor.

  • feed surface
  • wide runway
  • steady sweep

Dense dashboard rows + tighter x travel

Signal Ledger

Signal Ledger keeps the shimmer stripe narrower and slightly faster so compact telemetry placeholders still read clearly at smaller widths.

background-position-x 152% → -126% on a 208% stripe field with a subtle 14% y lift.

  • dense metrics
  • narrow stripe
  • dashboard loading

Avatar stack + diagonal y drift

North Profile Rail

North Profile Rail introduces a slight vertical offset while the band crosses leftward, making stacked profile placeholders feel more dimensional.

background-position 164% -8% → -138% 18% using a 228% stripe field and cool diagonal angle.
