every skeleton screen you've ever hand-coded is a waste of time
you're literally measuring padding and guessing widths to build a worse version of a layout that already exists in your DOM
so I made a package that just reads the real one
Boneyard just passed 100k downloads in its first month and quickly growing, crazy!

Polish isn’t decoration. It’s the accumulated effect of caring about every small thing until the small things stop calling attention to themselves.

design changes? re-run the build. skeletons update because they come from the real layout, not a copy you forgot about 3 sprints ago
boneyard-js just got an upgrade (v-1.6)
- compact bone format - smaller .bones.json files
- incremental builds - only recaptures changed components
- boneyard.config.json - one file for all defaults
- new docs: responsive, SSR, changelog
1400 stars in 24 hours
sometimes it's the problem that devs experience every day that is the most important to try to tackle
skeletons ship in your SSR response - no client JS needed.
pass fixture data, run the CLI, and Playwright snapshots your real DOM into a tiny JSON file.
at runtime, the skeleton renders from that JSON before any JS loads.
