A CodePen by Girish Sharma. Gmail like loading animation in pure CSS - This animation is similar to what GMail shows at the starting of loading one's email id. This animation is made purely in CSS and using just one element so it can be used on any DOM element by just toggling the class. Just a fun note, GMail only shows the inner stripes animation on Chrome, but not on Firefox. Here is a POC that it is possible :)
