openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature]: Handle loading states, because commands are generally slow. [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Adding loaders to the OpenClaw CLI can improve the user experience by providing visual feedback during long-running operations.

Guidance

• Identify the points in the CLI where loaders are missing and prioritize their implementation based on user impact.
• Consider using a library or framework that provides a simple way to add loaders, such as a progress bar or a spinning wheel.
• Implement a basic loader that displays a message indicating the operation is in progress, and refine it later to provide more detailed feedback.
• Test the loaders with different scenarios to ensure they are working as expected and providing a better user experience.

Example

import time
from tqdm import tqdm

# Example of a simple loader using tqdm
for i in tqdm(range(10), desc="Loading..."):
    time.sleep(1)

Notes

The implementation of loaders will depend on the specific technology stack and framework used by the OpenClaw CLI. This guidance assumes a Python-based implementation, but the concept can be applied to other languages and frameworks.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add basic loaders to the OpenClaw CLI to improve the user experience, and refine them later to provide more detailed feedback. This will help to address the immediate issue of poor UX and provide a better foundation for future improvements.
