Is there an easier way to preview CoilImage() similar to <ImageView tools:src="@tools:sample/avatars" ... /> or possibly any alternatives to quickly viewing image composable while designing a screen?

Pass a fake local image

Fake local image or a fake local composable? Setting fake image would still not give preview with CoilImage.

If I do a fake composable then it seems like way too much work maintaining two composables according to the same specs.

Yes, it is possible. previewPlaceholder was added to CoilImage and GlideImage in version 0.7.1 . https://github.com/google/accompanist/pull/290/

Thanks. That saves a lot of time.
