I just installed Yard latest and am trying out the yard server with  
yard server --gems. I get a nice list of all my installed gems pretty  
much immediately, but no matter which one I click on, I get a spinny  
thing that won’t go away, saying that [gem name] is being processed. I  
haven’t yet seen a finished documentation page.

Is this normal?
