Problem

Sometimes the editor can take some time to load, and when the content is loaded, it enters pretty jarringly. This is especially strong on iOS when posts have a lot of content.

Context

At the moment, on Android we're showing a spinner, like so:

...whereas on iOS, we're showing nothing.

This is especially jarring on iOS with long posts.

Proposal

Let's improve the experience of a post as it's loading by either:

• Showing a progress spinner or similar on iOS – like we do on Android. This at least tells me something is in progress.

• Even better, we could show skeleton elements in place of the title and body. That would look something like this:

If we were to take a skeleton-loader approach, we should reference other places in the apps that follow this pattern, and ensure we are able to show this elegantly, to limit flashes of content.
