Avatar Fallback Hierarchy: Upload → Gravatar → FleekDash Letter

FleekDash 1.2.2 introduces a clearer and more resilient avatar strategy across the interface: a 3-level hierarchy that prioritizes user identity while avoiding broken images.

What's New

  • Level 1, Uploaded avatar (preferred): if the user has a custom uploaded avatar, FleekDash renders it first.

  • Level 2, Gravatar fallback: when no uploaded avatar is available, FleekDash attempts to resolve a Gravatar based on the user identity/email context.

  • Level 3, Native FleekDash letter avatar: if Gravatar is unavailable or missing, FleekDash renders a lightweight generated avatar with user initials as the final fallback.

How it works

  1. FleekDash checks whether a valid uploaded avatar URL exists and loads it.

  2. If not, it tries Gravatar.

  3. If Gravatar also fails or is unavailable, FleekDash generates a native letter avatar instantly.

This keeps avatar rendering predictable on slow networks, privacy-restricted environments, and partially configured user profiles.

What's Improved

  • Fewer broken avatar states: users no longer see empty image slots when external providers fail.

  • Better performance and consistency: lightweight letter avatars ensure fast first paint and coherent UI identity across tables, cards, and search results.
