Idea: progress spinner

[twerth]

We should decided on a progress gem, like JGProgressHUD or whatever, and make a nice wrapper around it in RedPotion. Especially the common stuff.

I really like SVProgressHUD and I use the motion-blitz gem to provide a nice DSL for it. https://github.com/dblandin/motion-blitz

motion-blitz looks good. I think we usually use JGProgressHUD and from memory @GantMan has a wrapper for it (?)

[markrickert]

I like it, but i can also see us creating a custom wrapper… maybe a rmq-addon that adds rmq.hud.show rmq.hud.hide, etc.

👍 for @markrickert 's idea.

[GantMan]

Imo we make our own wrapper around jgprogress and include it in redpotion.

I'll start it if we agree on this path. I have experience with blitz and jgprogress

@GantMan @markrickert I like the idea of a plugin. I currently alias Motion::Blitz as Notifier, like it says in the readme. I think referring to it as "notifier" is relatively intuitive. Maybe we can have app.notifier? I haven't used JGProgressHUD, but I assume these are pretty similar libraries. It seems like we should just alias Motion::Blitz since it's already a gem. Is there a reason to go with one over the other?

JG Progress HUD was written to be more advanced than SV Progress HUD. BUT Motion::Blitz is awesome, so I say let JG Progress HUD die.
