## What it is
A React component library that adds a top loading progress bar to Next.js applications, built on top of nprogress. It supports both the App Router and Pages Router and ships a compatible useRouter hook and useTopLoader hook for programmatic control.

## Use cases
- show a top loading bar during Next.js route transitions
- add nprogress-style progress indicator to a Next.js app router project
- trigger a loading bar on router.push with useRouter
- add page loading indicator to a pages router Next.js app
- programmatically start and stop a progress bar with a React hook

## When to choose
- you are building a Next.js app (app or pages router) and want a slim top progress bar
- you want a drop-in component with minimal configuration
- you need router-aware loading indicators including useRouter hook support

## When to avoid
- you are not using Next.js or React
- you need full-page loaders, spinners, or skeleton screens instead of a top bar
- you need a framework-agnostic vanilla JS progress bar
