Hello,

I am feeling creative & think it would be cool to have a preloader that isn’t just the standard bar preloader.

What I have in mind is to have a word being spelled out as the page is loaded.  
So the loader ‘fills’ from point A to point B, but not necessarily along a straight line.

It would need to follow a path.

I’ve seen various animated preloaders but they all seem to go along a straight line, even if bubbling or moving.

Anyone tackled this before?

Thanks
