ux: Build Skeleton Loaders for the Analytics Dashboard

[AlAfiz]

Description

When the dashboard page loads, the charts and numbers are completely blank until the API responds.
This causes the layout to shift abruptly, which feels unpolished and broken.
We need animated skeleton loaders that act as placeholders while the data is fetching.

Requirements

• Create a SkeletonCard.tsx component using Tailwind's animate-pulse class.
• Apply a subtle gray background (bg-slate-800) to the skeleton shape.
• Render these skeleton blocks on the dashboard whenever the isLoading state is true.
• Ensure the skeleton dimensions match the final loaded charts to prevent layout shift.

I’d like to work on this issue because skeleton loaders significantly improve perceived performance and user experience on analytics dashboards. They provide immediate visual feedback while data is loading, making the interface feel faster and more responsive. I’m comfortable building lightweight, reusable UI components and can implement clean, consistent loaders that integrate smoothly with the existing design system.
