Description

At start, the app shows a quick "loading" something, then moves to this:

![Capture d’écran  2023-09-06 à 15 07 30](https://github.com/liveview-native/elixirconf_chess/assets/10141/033c6fbd-3572-49d4-9023-252d7caec97a)

I find a bit confusing as a user:
- what is supposed to be listed here? Available partners to play with? Is it something where a user can join 2 players already playing and do moves?
- having a bit of text or something would help

Research direction

Start by locating the screen that renders the blank state shown in the screenshot and trace the transition from the initial loading view. Clarify what the listed items represent and add explanatory text to the empty state. Done means a new user can understand what belongs in the list and whether they can join an existing game.
