General

What bug do you experience? 🐞

The typing indicator is not visible if the Chat widget does not contain any messages.

How can it be reproduced? 🤔

final _user = const types.User(
  id: '82091008-a484-4a89-ae75-a22bf8d6f3ac',
  firstName: 'Alice',
);

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) => Scaffold(
      body: Chat(
        messages: [],
        onSendPressed: (_) {},
        user: _user,
        typingIndicatorOptions: TypingIndicatorOptions(
          typingUsers: [_user],
        ),
      ),
    );

What behavior is expected? 💡

The typing indicator should show up.

No worries, I just reported it because I noticed it while using this awesome package. I don't need it immediately.
