Post Description

Hello HN, I'm Dominik the founder of Notra (https://www.usenotra.com) we recently built an AI Chat into our app and for that built a few custom components.

One of them being our loader, I really liked the idea of integrating our company name into it so I made a component out of it and small blog post ^^
