Description

Description: When a user selects "Create new app", DevHands currently prints a message and generates the folder structure. Improve the user experience by adding a simple "loading" animation during the process.

Tasks:

  • Add a helper function (e.g. show_spinner()) that displays a rotating character or progress dots while files are being created.
  • Use threading or a simple loop with time.sleep().
  • Print a clean "✅ Done!" message once generation is complete.
  • Ensure this works in both Docker and native terminal environments.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing file generation code in DevHands and implement a simple spinner using threading or a loop with time.sleep(). Ensure it works in both Docker and native terminals.
