A deprecated Objective-C library providing a drop-in UIViewController subclass with a growing text input view and messaging features like autocomplete, typing indicators, and markdown formatting for iOS chat apps. Slack no longer maintains it, with the last release in 2018.
Use cases
- build a chat message input view in an iOS app
- growing text view for messaging UI on iOS
- add @mention autocomplete to an iOS chat screen
- typing indicator for an iOS messaging app
- legacy Objective-C chat input component for iOS
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Objective-C iOS app already using it
- you need a battle-tested chat input for an old iOS codebase and accept no updates
When to avoid
- starting any new iOS project
- you need Swift or modern iOS support
- App Store compliance matters, since it is unmaintained
