Best Practices

Efficient member preview implementation - Use preview members for UI display instead of querying full member lists - Cache channel data with preview members to avoid repeated API calls - Implement proper loading states while channel data is being fetched - Consider using skeleton screens for member avatars during loading
Enhanced member visibility patterns - Display member avatars in overlapping circles for visual appeal - Show “+X more” indicator when there are additional members - Use fallback initials or default avatars for members without profile pictures - Implement hover/tap states to show member names or additional info
