## What it is
A Swift UIKit library providing a message-composing view controller with a text input bar, send button, and autocomplete support, built as a replacement for SlackTextViewController. It is designed for iOS apps like GitHawk that need a scrollable content view paired with a customizable message input.

## Use cases
- add a chat message input bar to an iOS app
- replace SlackTextViewController in a Swift project
- implement @mention autocomplete in a comment composer
- build a messaging screen with a pinned text input above a scroll view

## When to choose
- building an iOS chat or comment composer in Swift with UIKit
- you need customizable input bar styling and prefix-based autocomplete

## When to avoid
- building for Android or cross-platform
- using SwiftUI rather than UIKit
- you need actively maintained software - the latest release is from 2019
