  • The problem is, loading things takes different amounts of time. I once tried to implement a real loading bar for an app because it took long enough to load that clients needed some indication that the app hadn’t crashed. There were seven steps, so I naively made each step take about 14% of the bar. Then I tested it, and it just jumped to step 4, sat there for the entire loading process, and then jumped to 100%. Because loading isn’t linear.

    The only way for loading bars to work is for them to be fake.
