[AnkanMisra]

Implement loading states and animations throughout the application to provide better visual feedback to users during various operations

Objectives

• Add visual feedback for asynchronous operations
• Create smooth transitions between states
• Enhance the overall user experience with subtle animations
• Make the application feel more dynamic and responsive

Tasks

1. Connection Status Enhancement

• Add a loading animation when attempting to connect to the server
• Enhance the existing connection status indicator with a more engaging animation
• Create a smooth transition between connected and disconnected states

2. Code Language Switching

• Add a brief loading animation when changing programming languages
• Create a smooth transition effect for the editor when syntax highlighting changes
• Provide visual feedback during language selection

3. Code Formatting Animation

• Add an animation to the Format button when clicked
• Show a brief visual indication that code is being formatted
• Create a subtle animation for the code text when formatting completes

4. Chat Message Loading

• Add a "sending" state for outgoing messages
• Create a typing indicator animation for incoming messages
• Implement a subtle entrance animation for new messages

5. Page Transitions

• Add smooth transitions between main application pages

• Ensure consistent animation timing throughout the application

Technical Guidelines

• Use Framer Motion for animations (already in the project)
• Keep animations subtle and professional
• Ensure animations don't interfere with usability
• Follow the existing design language
• Maintain accessibility standards

Resources

• Current editor component: /frontend/src/components/editor/Editor.tsx
• Framer Motion documentation: https://www.framer.com/motion/
• Existing animations in the landing page can be referenced for style consistency

Definition of Done

• Animations are consistent with the existing design
• Code is well-documented and follows project conventions
• Animations work correctly across different browsers
• Performance is not negatively impacted
