When installing a new app from the marketplace, a placeholder loader is shown on the homescreen while the app is installed. When the app is ready, the loader is replaced with the app's icons. This shows the user that the installation process is ongoing. Currently this behavior does not apply to Collections, so when adding new collections it looks like nothing is happening.

Amir - does this happen with the current homescreen? It doesn't seem like it would be difficult to do, but I'm not sure what events you listen to. Currently the homescreen gets a datastore event to add the collection, but at that point there's nothing more we need to wait for - we can just display the collection as it should be ready.

good point. I guess what we can do is: 1. activity.postResult(numberOfCollectionsAdded) 2. homescreen paints a loader for every new collection 2. on datastore event dismiss the loaders and show the real icons wdyt?

Sure, I guess before we do this we should do a quick profile to see how long it really takes, and if it would really be worth it. The collection icons appear pretty quickly for me after adding them. Seems like possibly a nice to have and maybe not required?

Our user perceived acceptance criteria state that the user needs to see a response within 100ms. I went ahead and profiled this on a flame and it appears we start rendering at < 100ms. Additionally the spinner would be so short it may be more disorientating to the user than not having one. I do think that we should investigate this to see what kind of UX it would achieve, but I don't think it's necessary for 2.0. Ni? on Jason to reconsider VH-blocking flags, I'm not sure what they mean, but I would like to - on them. If we get around this we can still ask for uplift into 2.0, but I don't think it should be a priority.

Appears I actually did a ni? on Johan, but either one of you guys is free to chime in. Thanks!

This is nice cleanup work, but definitely not a blocking issue.
