  "textContent": "I’m facing an issue where the UI flickers continuously until an image is fully downloaded and rendered. Once the image finishes loading, the flickering stops and the UI stabilizes.\n\n**Expected Behavior:**\nThe UI should remain stable while the image is loading, possibly showing a placeholder or loader.\n\n**Actual Behavior:**\nUI keeps flickering/re-rendering until the image download completes.\n\n**Possible Cause (Guess):**\nIt might be due to repeated re-renders triggered by image loading state or layout shifts when the image dimensions are not predefined.\n\n**Things Tried:**\n\n  * Checked image loading logic\n\n  * Verified state updates during render\n\n\n\n\n**Looking For:**\n\n  * Best practices to prevent UI flickering during image loading\n\n  * Suggestions like placeholders, skeleton loaders, or caching strategies\n\n\n",
