Thinking Orbs

Thinking Orbs is a React component library designed to provide clear, animated status indicators for background processes. Key features include: • Animated status indicators for various states • Multiple variants for each state (e.g., 'thinking', 'searching', 'compacting') • Customizable size, speed, and density • Lightweight with no external dependencies (3.8 KB gzipped) • Easy integration with npm or shadcn This library offers a collection of well-crafted, animated orbs that visually represent different operational states, such as 'working', 'reasoning', 'searching', 'retrying', 'compacting', and 'waiting'. Each state comes with distinct visual animations and optional variants like 'Lighthouse' for searching or 'Squeeze' for compacting, allowing for nuanced feedback. Developers can easily control props like size, animation speed, dot density, and tilt to perfectly match their application's aesthetic and user experience requirements. Built for React developers, Thinking Orbs helps improve user comprehension during asynchronous operations by providing intuitive visual cues. It's ideal for web applications where users interact with complex background tasks and need clear, real-time feedback on process status. The library is open-source and provides a straightforward installation and usage model, making it simple to incorporate these expressive status components into any React project.
