So I can try to find some result that is sent after the stack loads and the
database query is finished and do something like:

1. On open database stack show animated barber pole icon
2. When database query finished hide barber pole icon

It really would be better if there was a progress bar but at least the
barber pole icon would let the user know that there wasn't a crash.

Should I vote for:
