Summary

  • Adds a new pattern article explaining why circular spinners communicate almost nothing useful, and what to use instead: faster code, skeletal placeholders, action acknowledgments, animated transitions, or real progress bars.
  • Reuses the existing no_spinners.svg and no_spinners_animated.svg assets that already live in src/assets/.

Closes #6

Test plan

  • Run npm run start and verify the article renders at /patterns/dont_use_spinners/
  • Confirm the new pattern appears in the homepage list with thumbnail
  • Confirm the new pattern shows up in the side nav

Noticed a small mistake on line 28. The Sentence is lacking a period at the end for punctuation.

Otherwise, not seeing any issues.

You can click "+" to the left of the line to add comment on specific line so PR owner does not need to look for it.

That being said, I instructed my AI to not put periods at the end of bulleted list items. Is that wrong?
