UI Design for Repository Creation Delay

Creating a repo takes some time. So after clicking next in the repo create view (#18 (closed)), we might want to show some sort of progress bar "Your repository is being created, please wait..." and then take the user to the repository once it is ready.

Nico suggests using a spinner loading animation which is shown when the "Next" button is clicked.

The time required for repo creation depends on the computer that is used to run repomaker on, how busy it is and how much entropy it has available. It can be anything from a second to 5 minutes. In most cases it is probably somewhere between 1 and 5 seconds which is enough for the website to feel unresponsive and might cause the user to press Next again, creating another repository unintentionally.

@NicoAlt coAlt I was thinking we could show an animated dot progress bar in the button area after it's clicked. Though, if we need something more out-of-the-box, we could use the material design spinner, and show it in place of the button.

Or a white circular spinner inside the box?
