What is next-progressbar-link?

next-progressbar-link is a lightweight wrapper around Next.js's native Link component that adds visual feedback during page navigation. It solves the common problem where users click a link but don't know if the page is loading, especially in App Router with Server Components where navigation can take a moment.

Why was it created?

In modern web applications, especially those using Next.js App Router with Server Components, navigation can sometimes take a few moments. During this time, users often wonder if their click registered or if the page is actually loading.

This package provides a simple, elegant solution by showing a customizable progress bar that gives users clear visual feedback that something is happening.
