Custom Progress Bar

[stephenprater]

I'm trying to make a "Progress Bar" for something that isn't an LSP (Codecompanion)

I'm currently routing notifications from this code:

function M:notify_spinner_start()
  local index = 1

  self.timer = vim.uv.new_timer()
  self.timer:start(0, 100, vim.schedule_wrap(function()
    vim.notify(
      spinner_symbols[index],
      vim.log.levels.INFO,
      { title = "Companion thinking", id = "llm_progress", icon = think_icon }
    )
    index = (index % #spinner_symbols) + 1
  end))
end

progress_bar.mov

To the mini backend: unfortunately that seems to result in "stacked" notifications rather than a single, update in place progress bar. I could create a custom progress bar using Noice.Message - but I'm not sure how to do that - is there any examples of a custom progress bar like this?
