Other User(s) Typing Indicator
I think it would be super useful to have specific customization related to showing a typing indicator. I believe the ability is probably there, through the use of a Custom Cell, but it will be a bit hackier/difficult. I believe the framework could supply this ability, and support consistent styling/theming of the typing bubble.
Want to add a bit more --- the hack I outlined above has the annoying part that it will still try to show an avatar. In my use-case, I want to be able to show a typing indicator, but not show an avatar on that one custom cell.
This is kind of possible using the avatarBuilder cutomizable function, however this only exposes the userId, and doesn't allow the fallback of using the default avatar (like I want for my case). Specifically; I want to use the default avatar in all cases BUT the case of the typing message.
This should be a specific widget, without hacks, to be added.
Any idea when this feature will be available?
Found some issues in RTL languages, need to fix it, then release.

we've been waiting for this for a long time :)
Hi! Thank for your amazing chat. Is this feature available yet?
it is broken in RTL and I can't find motivation to finish this for 2 months already haha, available if chat is used from the repo directly though

Hey 😁 What's the status on this one?
What do you mean by "it is broken on RTL"? What is the behaviour? Moreover, what is the expected behaviour when multiple users are typing?
Thank you for your amazing job on this package 🎉

It is working correctly for multiple users typing. No updates here, I am taking a break.

If it's what I think it is, I think I fixed it and opened a pull request
It sets the writing direction for each message by checking the language (and the input too) so the ! ? etc are all in the correct place
Super thank you very much 😁 That would be awesome! Would you need any help?
It is not it, question was about typing indicator and it is broken :)
