A way to show placeholders/indicators when stickers/emoji cells are being loaded?

[roimulia2]

Hey there!

I'm trying to provide the best user experience possible with GiphyGridController. It's working pretty well!
I wonder, is there a way to show placeholders/indicators when stickers/emoji cells are being loaded?
As when you have slow internet the contentDidUpdate delegate method will get called but it might take time for the cells to appear with actual content (stickers/emoji).

Thanks!

Also, the "stickers are not found the text" (when we don't get search results) should be configurable through GPHTheme (at least set a different text color) so the client can decide if to use a light theme or dark theme.

For example for a dark theme implementation, the default label color is not visible:

One way to show placeholders or indicators when stickers/emoji cells are being loaded is to use a loading spinner or progress bar. This will give the user a visual cue that the stickers/emojis are being loaded and prevent them from assuming that the app is frozen or unresponsive. Additionally, using a placeholder image or text can also be helpful to give the user an idea of what to expect in the cell once the stickers/emojis have loaded. https://hypeapk.com/

@cgmaier Wondering if there is any update on the above question, the loading time for GiphyGridController seems to be way too long than the direct GiphyViewController implementation.
