Lazy loading data with app-route -- Polycasts #47
328Lazy loading data and managing flash of unstyled content (FOUC) can be pretty tricky in a single page app. In today's episode I'm going to tackle both of these topics. We'll add a loading screen to our app that uses a spinner to indicate we're waiting on our text content, then we'll use a technique popularized by Medium where we base64 encode a low res version of our images (so we can display them quickly) and then transition to the higher res version once it's had time to download.
