Initials-based avatar placeholders

Use the avatar preset with short text to generate simple initials-based placeholders for SaaS apps, internal tools, marketplaces, communities, and dashboards.

Consistent profile UI

Avatar placeholders prevent empty profile areas and inconsistent list rows. Use the same pattern across nav bars, tables, comments, activity feeds, user cards, and settings pages.
