2 years ago This is tough because there's no real "search for user by partial string API" endpoint that I'm aware of. One workaround could be to get the user's followed channels and use that list as the autocomplete dictionary, with an option for "manually add". In the meantime, the fix deployed should prevent the bug case, so I'm switching this to enhancement and pushing it to 1.0.
Right now you can put whatever you want into the channels box; you'll get an error on console if the join fails, but that's it. Need to handle this with an error message and avoid adding the channel.
