3. Jakubantalik/thinking-orbs
979 stars this week · TypeScript
This repo provides visually distinct, AI-themed loading indicators that communicate agent state more clearly than generic spinners.
Use case
When building AI interfaces, generic loading spinners don't communicate what the agent is actually doing (thinking vs searching vs composing). This library solves that with six distinct animations that visually represent different AI states. For example, a 'searching' orb with a scan meridian clearly shows the AI is retrieving information, while a 'composing' orb with undulating bands indicates content generation.

AI interfaces are proliferating, and developers are realizing generic loading indicators create poor UX. This repo trending now because it offers a simple, well-designed solution to a common pain point in AI UIs.
How to use it
Install the package: npm install thinking-orbs,Import the component: import { ThinkingOrb } from 'thinking-orbs',Use it in your React component: <ThinkingOrb state="searching" size={64} />,Choose from states: working, searching, solving, listening, composing, shaping,Set size to 20 for inline or 64 for avatar-scale indicators
How I could use this
- Add a 'thinking' orb to your blog's AI search feature to show when the system is retrieving posts vs generating summaries
- Use the 'composing' orb in your resume matcher tool when the AI is drafting personalized cover letter suggestions
- Implement the 'listening' orb in your voice-to-blog-post feature to indicate when the AI is processing audio input
