Creates a bouncing loader animation.
- Use `@keyframes` to define a bouncing animation, using the `opacity` and `transform` properties. Use a single axis translation on `transform: translate3d()` to achieve better animation performance.
- Create a parent container, `.bouncing-loader`, for the bouncing circles. Use `display: flex` and `justify-content: center` to position them in the center.
- Give the three bouncing circle `<div>` elements the same `width` and `height` and `border-radius: 50%` to make them circular.
- Apply the `bouncing-loader` animation to each of the three bouncing circles.
- Use a different `animation-delay` for each circle and `animation-direction: alternate` to create the appropriate effect.
```html
<div class="bouncing-loader">
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
```
```css
@keyframes bouncing-loader {
to {
opacity: 0.1;
transform: translate3d(0, -16px, 0);
}
}
.bouncing-loader {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
.bouncing-loader > div {
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
margin: 3rem 0.2rem;
background: #8385aa;
border-radius: 50%;
animation: bouncing-loader 0.6s infinite alternate;
}
.bouncing-loader > div:nth-child(2) {
animation-delay: 0.2s;
}
.bouncing-loader > div:nth-child(3) {
animation-delay: 0.4s;
