💫 A curated collection of dazzling web spinners

This is a link-list 'awesome' repo cataloging web spinner/loader implementations across CSS, SVG, canvas, and JS approaches, aggregated from other GitHub repos and CodePens. It's useful for a developer who needs a loading spinner and wants a menu of existing options rather than building one from scratch.

Well-organized by technique (single-element CSS, zero-element CSS, SVG, canvas) so you can pick based on your constraints, e.g., no extra markup vs. animated SVG. Points to genuinely solid sources like SpinKit, Loaders.css, and SVG-Loaders that are worth knowing about independent of this list. Low-friction reference for a common but tedious UI need.

No code of its own — it's a README of external links, so its value is entirely dependent on those links staying alive, and several point to CodePen pens and personal sites that are prone to rotting. Last push was 2022-02-07, over four years ago, so newer spinner libraries and CSS techniques (like `@property` animations) are absent. No way to evaluate quality or license compatibility of the linked spinners without clicking through each one individually.
