Research direction

The issue asks about adding spinners to termui. First, examine existing widgets in the repository (e.g., gauge, bar chart) to understand the widget interface and rendering pattern. Look for any previous discussions or pull requests related to spinners or animated components. Since the scope is vague, consider proposing a simple implementation using goroutines for animation and existing drawing primitives. Check the issue comments for maintainer guidance or community suggestions.
