A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

When one opens YouTube on Android and it's loading content, one will see the shapes of the to be displayed content, as placeholders. How can I achieve the same in Jetpack Compose? Is it because of older development platforms that YouTube uses? Or am I missing some composable that provides this behavior? Is this the recommended way to go forward for providing content?

You mean something like this? <https://google.github.io/accompanist/placeholder/|https://google.github.io/accompanist/placeholder/>
It deprecated but easily adjustable.

Btw, there was never a native api for this. It’s all just libraries. For xml layouts, Facebook had a library called shimmer

I ported the accompanist placeholder library <https://github.com/eygraber/compose-placeholder|https://github.com/eygraber/compose-placeholder>
