Small suggestion for UI reactiveness.

WHEN: pasting the URL of in a large channel, such as "/@DoctorWho", THEN: interface looks like it is ignoring the input OR as if it was a bad URL. What I think it happening is its slowly downloading in the background? And only at the end displaying the results?

Suggestion: to show something trivial like a ✅ green tick or a 🔄️waiting indicator or a 🔽⏬processing/downloading indication to confirm that the URL and channel was recognized and doing unseen work.

This might be equally useful for a bad URL to show a ❎⛔ warning when the URL is parsable, pingable, has been checked and doesn't lead to a valid page. Currently it won't change the screen, nor will it remove the previously found result (example - /@Car → /@Cars → /@Ca, displays the first two found channels in the first step, but unchanged when not finding the non-existant last channel)

Thanks for your consideration! I hope this is as such an easy one 🤞 Love your work
