Background

Skeleton screens were introduced by Luke Wroblewski in 2013 and have become a standard pattern in web applications. They display gray placeholder blocks before content loads, combined with animation hints to indicate loading status. Implementations include CSS-only and JS+CSS approaches. This tool generates CSS-only code for maximum lightweight performance.
