## What it is
Typist is a small drop-in Swift UIKit keyboard manager for iOS apps. It lets developers respond to keyboard show/hide/frame-change events via closures instead of NotificationCenter and Objective-C boilerplate.

## Use cases
- handle keyboard show and hide events in iOS
- animate views when the keyboard appears
- implement interactive keyboard dismissal with scroll views
- manage input accessory view animation with keyboard frame changes
- replace NotificationCenter keyboard observers with clean Swift callbacks

## When to choose
- building an iOS app in Swift with UIKit that needs keyboard event handling
- wanting a lightweight drop-in keyboard manager without notification center
- needing interactive keyboard dismissal tied to scroll views

## When to avoid
- building with SwiftUI where native keyboard APIs may suffice
- needing cross-platform keyboard handling beyond iOS
- requiring a library with frequent updates, as the latest release is from 2021

- artifact type: library
