Description
As a user waiting for AI response
I want to see engaging feedback during thinking
So that I know the system is working and don't think it's frozen
Description:
Improve the thinking/loading animation during AI response:
Current: Simple "..." with pulse animation
Improved ideas:
- Terminal cursor: Blinking cursor effect
- Typewriter effect: Characters appearing one by one
- Matrix rain: Subtle falling characters in background
- Scanning line: Horizontal line moving across message box
Choose one or combine:
- Primary: Typing indicator with cycling dots
- Secondary: Subtle scanline effect on chat box
Tech Notes:
- CSS animations only
- Should not block UI
- Graceful degradation for reduced motion
Story Points: 1
Acceptance Criteria:
- Animation plays during AI response
- Animation stops when response received
- Respects prefers-reduced-motion
