We must improve the loading card

[g123k]

Hi everyone!

We have many people complaining that the app doesn't work/doesn't find products.
It's difficult to understand exactly the problem behind it, but today I was possibly able to be in their situation.

Basically, it happens when the server is really slow and my app was stuck on the loading card for at least 10 seconds:

Even if we can't do better than a loading card, we should improve the UI of it, to at least provide something less formal/minimal.

@g123k Fair enough!

Some suggestions:

• a "try later" button
• a 10 second timeout after which we display a "Unfortunately, slow connection or slow server", with a "retry" button
• a more explicit card title "Looking for product 01234"
• a faster server (db, memory, ...) (but that's another story)

Actually, the requesting is still in progress, so not yet 😅

• a 10 second timeout after which we display a "Unfortunately, slow connection or slow server", with a "retry" button

I think that will be one part of my implementation.
The other one is that I animate the OFF logo or use the fruits/vegetables visual from empty lists and do a nice animation

• a more explicit card title "Looking for product 01234"

And also, obviously.

• a faster server (db, memory, ...) (but that's another story)

This is a work that @alexgarel is working on. It will take some time unfortunately to do all the migration stuff and co

a "try later" button

Let's call it "stop and try later" then.

Actually, we can mix everything:

1. Text with "loading barcode XXXXX" with an animation
2. After 7-8 sec : "Unfortunately, slow connection or slow server"
3. After 5 more seconds: Retry button
