Custom progress bars with Rails and Hotwire

The Turbo Rails progress bar is a subtle yet powerful feature that enhances user experience by providing visual feedback during page loads.

By default, it appears as a slim blue bar at the top of the page for requests that take longer than 500ms. However, with a few simple tweaks, you can transform this element to better match your application's design and brand identity.

This tutorial will cover the basics and give you an idea of how to add a completely custom loading experience via Stimulus and Tailwind CSS.
