  • 28 days oldThe repository was created 28 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
  • 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Loading · Empty · Error

Every async view needs three states besides success.

Loading

  • Skeleton or spinner with label ("Checking hosts…")
  • Prefer skeletons for content-shaped layouts
  • Timeout → error with retry

Empty

  • Explain what will appear and how to start
  • One clear CTA
  • Not a blank white panel

Error

  • What failed (human language)
  • What to do (Retry, Open docs, Run as admin…)
  • Keep previous good data if partial

White screen is a bug

Treat pure white/blank as highest severity:

  1. Is CSS loaded?
  2. Is root mounted?
  3. Did JS throw?
  4. Is webview still navigating?

Acceptance

  • No path leaves the user with zero chrome and zero message
