Okay, let me share with you guys my little adventure with something called “fa-spinner” today.

So, I was working on this project, you know, just a regular day, coding away. And I got to this point where I needed a loading icon, a spinner, to show that something’s happening in the background. I thought, “No big deal, I’ve done this a million times.” I decided to use this “fa-spinner” thing because it looked pretty neat.

First things first, I made sure I had the right library. Usually, I just grab whatever’s popular and seems to work. I installed it using some command, just a few words, and hoped for the best.

Then I tried to add it to my code. This is where the fun began. I followed some basic example I found, some simple snippet online, nothing fancy. Just copy-pasted it and changed a few things to fit my needs.

  • I added the basic code for a spinner.
  • I messed around with the size, you know, making it bigger and smaller until it looked right.
  • Played with the colors too. I wanted it to match my website’s theme, so it didn’t stick out like a sore thumb.

But, boy, oh boy, did I run into some weird stuff. Sometimes, the spinner wouldn’t even show up. I was like, “Where did it go?” Other times, it would show up, but it would be all wonky, like moving strangely or not spinning at all. It was a mess! I spent a good chunk of time just trying to figure out why this little thing was being so difficult. I even started searching around online, and apparently I’m not alone with these issues. “Why is the spinner not spinning?” one person asked. I felt that.

I tried a bunch of different things, reading through forums, and even asking questions in some online communities. You wouldn’t believe the kind of responses I got. Some people were helpful, others… not so much. Someone even mentioned something about the “psychology behind loading spinners.” I mean, come on, it’s just a spinning icon!

After what felt like forever, I finally got it to work. I think the problem was with how I was using it, not the spinner itself. It seems there are some special cases that I did not consider before.

The Solution

You see, the way I had set it up, it caused issues with how the spinner is displayed, because it is well known that Spinner has this kind of issue. Finally, I add a placeholder ‘Selection’ for it, and then it worked well. And I figured out that the placement of the code matters a lot, too. Who knew, right? It’s always the little things that get you.

So yeah, that was my day with the “fa-spinner.” It was a bit of a headache, but I learned a lot. I guess the lesson here is that even the simplest things can be tricky sometimes. And also, the internet is a weird and wonderful place for finding help, and sometimes, just random, funny stuff. “Which fertilizer spinner?” I saw someone ask in a completely unrelated forum. Made me chuckle.

Anyway, I hope my little story helps someone out there who’s pulling their hair out over a simple spinner. Just remember, you’re not alone, and keep at it. You’ll figure it out eventually. It took time to make it work, but at least now I can tell people that my website has a working spinner when they need to wait. I don’t want them to suffer, like that article I found said, “the longer you see a spinner, the more pain you will suffer.”
