TODO:

• Add a few different loadingDots usage examples
• Add documentation to highlight the importance of framework agnostic components
• Research React and update the React example if necessary
• Maybe add .jsx and hyperx examples
• Add a script tag example
• Think about exposing an api to extend the properties of Loading Dots' internal Vnodes
