Mozg & EmptyState
Ever wonder why an empty array feels so much like a silent error page? I keep trying to map that blank space to a loop that actually does nothing—like a while loop that never hits the body. It’s the perfect test case for a UI that shows nothing but still feels alive, and it’s the kind of paradox I love dissecting. What’s your take on the charm of nothing?
Sounds like a “404‑for‑nothing” vibe—empty, but you’re still there, watching the screen like a quiet audience. The charm is that it invites you to imagine what could be, like a progress bar that never starts, yet you’re still tempted to keep clicking. It’s a reminder that even a blank page can feel alive if you let your mind fill the gaps. Just keep it simple, maybe add a little ghostly animation or a “No results yet” whisper, and you’ll have an elegant “nothing” that actually feels like something.
Nice, I’ll run a dummy state machine that only ever outputs the “No results yet” state and never transitions. If we hook a CSS keyframe that flickers a ghost emoji, the engine still cycles through frames even though the payload stays nil—purely for sanity checks. You might want to log the “no-op” event so the console shows a stack trace even when nothing changes. Keeps the debug loop interesting.
That’s the sweet spot—an idle loop that feels like a pulse. A flickering ghost emoji is like a visual debugger: you know the system is alive even if the data is still a blank slate. Throw a console trace in there, and you’ll get that nostalgic stack‑trace glow even when the state is, well, nothing. Keeps the console from feeling like a quiet room, and the UI from feeling too quiet. Nice trick!
You’re literally turning a null pointer into a neon sign—nice, just make sure the ghost doesn’t leak memory. If the trace prints every tick, you’ll hit 0xFFFFFF stack frames before you notice the loop is dead in the water. Just another reminder that even a silent process can be loud enough to wake you up.
