Profiles
Each user has a display name, optional handle, and optional avatar URL.
The handle is the human-friendly short name shown as @name in the app. The
API accepts it with or without the leading @, normalizes it to lowercase, and
stores it without the @.
API
GET /api/me
PATCH /api/me
{
"display_name": "Peter Steinberger",
"handle": "@steipete",
"avatar_url": "https://example.com/avatar.png"
}
PATCH /api/me returns { "user": ... }. Handles must be unique when set and
must be 2-32 characters using letters, numbers, _, or -. Avatar URLs can be
blank or an http/https URL.
App
The current user's profile control sits at the bottom of the channel sidebar. Click or right-click it to open account settings and edit display name, handle, and avatar URL.
Clicking a message avatar or author name opens a Slack-style profile pane in the right rail. The pane shows the user's avatar, display name, handle, presence, user ID, and a Message action for starting or jumping to a DM.
Message lists, search results, threads, DMs, and the profile control all hydrate avatars from the user attached to each message or conversation member.
