Offline mode avatar #1335

Open paulmassen opened 6 years ago

Hi,

When in offline mode, avatar url is external, and thus can not be found. Resulting in this:

image

It would be nice to have a fallback image for this case. Thx!

A thought would be to always cache the Gravatar/external image, and test for the existence of it upon load. If it fails, fall back to an auto-generated one (I've used Avity and an Identicon-variant for this before).

I think an option to use another icon system (avity perhaps) could be a nice way to support offline rather than trying to locally cache and deal with remote gravatar images.
