## What it is
A Swift library for viewing and editing rich text in SwiftUI on Apple platforms, built on a bridge between UITextView and NSTextView. It provides a RichTextEditor/RichTextViewer with support for text styles, fonts, colors, alignments, and image attachments.

## Use cases
- build a rich text editor in a SwiftUI app
- let users format text with bold, italic, and underline
- display read-only rich text content in SwiftUI
- add font and color controls to a text editor
- support image attachments in editable text
- unify UITextView and NSTextView behavior across iOS and macOS

## When to choose
- you need a feature-rich rich text editor on Apple platforms with SwiftUI
- you need to support older OS versions lacking native attributed string editing
- you want platform-agnostic APIs over UITextView/NSTextView

## When to avoid
- you target iOS/macOS 26+ and can use native TextEditor attributed string editing
- you need cross-platform (non-Apple) rich text editing
- you need a fully maintained long-term solution given the author's uncertainty about its future
