## What it is
Mocka is a tiny (~500 bytes) CSS/Sass content placeholder component for showing skeleton loading states on websites and web apps. It ships as a customizable Sass mixin that generates placeholder classes for media, headings, and text blocks.

## Use cases
- show skeleton placeholders while page content loads
- add a lightweight loading placeholder to a web app
- customize skeleton loader styles via a Sass mixin
- inline a tiny content placeholder in HTML for fast loading
- create animated placeholder blocks for media, headings, and text

## When to choose
- you need an extremely lightweight skeleton loading placeholder
- you want a fully customizable Sass mixin you can inline in your project
- you prefer a pure CSS solution with no JavaScript dependency

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured skeleton library with React/Vue components
- you require framework integrations or advanced loading state management
- you need an actively developed project with recent releases
