Optimistic UI

[grod220]

The frontend handles data fetching asynchronously and caches results for components (SWR nice 👍). However, the UI does not always feel like it does. For example, in the farms section, clicking through different tabs causes a 1-2 second delay for the UI to respond (almost feeling server rendered).

Idea 💡: Implement optimistic UI patterns with placeholders to minimize screen jank as data is loaded. Could be a great opportunity for branding by utilizing some sushi-esc animations.

Rough example:

Results: A snappier feeling UI that renders better usage metrics and brand recognition

Hey @grod220, I'm a big fan of this suggestion. The farms page needs a lot of love across the board, it performs poorly especially on mainnet.
