## What it is
Nantes is a pure-Swift UILabel replacement library, a Swift port of the popular Objective-C TTTAttributedLabel. It supports attributed text, data detectors, link embedding, truncation tokens, and tap handling.

## Use cases
- display tappable links inside a UILabel on iOS
- add a 'read more' truncation token to long text
- replace TTTAttributedLabel in a Swift project
- detect and style URLs, dates, and phone numbers in label text
- expand/collapse multi-line labels on tap

## When to choose
- you need rich attributed text with embedded links in an iOS app
- you want a maintained Swift alternative to TTTAttributedLabel
- you need custom truncation tokens or tap-to-expand label behavior

## When to avoid
- you are building for Android or cross-platform (iOS-only)
- you need SwiftUI-native text handling rather than UIKit labels
- you only need plain static text without links or attributes
