Maybe this can be variable? Consumers of AvatarStack can decide on the max amount of avatars to show at rest 🤔

[joeoak]

Currently, the max amount of avatars that can be displayed at rest is 5 - shouldn't the min-width include the 5th avatar?

👋🏻 Hey @joeoak, thanks for giving this fix a go! Is it ready for review?

[joeoak]

hey @lesliecdubs! I opened this as more of a proposal 😅 - so I think we still need to align on whether this is the right design decision

Hey, I am on board with the change in general, but would suggested to decrease spacing the more items are added, to reduce the overall size when 4 or 5 Avatars are displayed.
