Horizontal loading slider

Sounds great! There are still a few rendering bugs to iron out (e.g. this one), but once I have those fixed up we could add it to core. I think I’d still prefer to test it a little longer on Meta though. The current implementation has only been live for 24 hours.

Taking a look at a few other popular PWAs:

Service Immediate whole-page change Slider Spinner Custom placeholder
Facebook :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
Twitter :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
LinkedIn (on some pages) :white_check_mark:
YouTube :x: :white_check_mark:
GitHub :x: :white_check_mark:
:discourse: Old Discourse :white_check_mark: :white_check_mark:
:discourse: Discourse with Slider :x: :white_check_mark:

So this change would make us more like YouTube and GitHub which, IMO, feel more like websites than apps. Is that a direction we want to go? :thinking:
