A drop-in replacement for React Native's TextInput component that renders Markdown formatting live as the user types. It provides synchronous formatting on every keystroke while preserving a fully native text input experience on Android, iOS, and web.

Use cases

• render markdown formatting while typing in a react native text input
• build a chat composer with live markdown styling
• replace TextInput with markdown-aware formatting in react native
• create a note editor that formats markdown in real time
• add live markdown highlighting to a cross-platform mobile app
• customize markdown parser and styles for a text field

When to avoid

• your project uses the old React Native architecture (New Architecture is required)
• you rely on Expo Go rather than a dev client or bare workflow
• you only need to display static markdown rather than edit it
• you need a pure JavaScript solution without native code builds
