What I learned

An element with position: fixed; is positioned relative to the viewport, it always stays in the same place even if the page is scrolled, unlike absolute which is relative to its closest assestor with positio relative.

.loader {
    position: fixed;
}

Continued development

Ill focus on creating more animations. Thanks to @caroline for the awesome animation.
