However, we are sometimes faced with the scenario where we have some processing to do on the client; or, we are waiting for some backend process to complete and send a response back to the client. For example, the user has initiated a backend task using the API, and they're now waiting for a response. The bottom line is, we want to illustrate to the user that progress is being made, and we just don't know how much progress has been made.
