Description Nate Graham 2019-10-25 13:08:59 UTC

When the dialog first loads, it sends several passiveNotifications in rapid succession. The loading UX would be better if it was more like how Discover does it IMO: with the status messages shown under a spinner or progress bar in the empty view itself, disappearing when the view becomes populated.

Give some more pretty feedback in NewStuff::Page while the Engine is loading

Summary:
This adds an isLoading property to KNSQuick::Engine, and that is used
to show a busy indicator (with descriptive label) when engine is loading.

Test Plan:
Without this patch: Empty content panel while loading is happening
With this patch:
