## What it is
UUChatTableView is a lightweight Objective-C UIKit component that renders group and one-to-one chat interfaces with text, image, and voice message bubbles. It bundles message models, layout calculation, bubble rendering, media actions, voice recording and playback, and a pure-code input bar that integrates via simple delegate callbacks.

## Use cases
- add chat bubbles to an ios app
- build a messaging ui in objective-c
- display text image and voice messages in a chat table view
- ios chat screen with voice recording and playback
- private and group chat interface component for uikit
- chat ui with pull-to-load message history
- customizable input bar with image picker and audio recording

## When to choose
- you need the chat surface only, without a heavy chat SDK or product shell
- you want a small, readable Objective-C codebase you can extend and own
- your app targets iOS 13+ and uses UIKit with code-only layouts
- you need text, image, and voice bubbles with media actions and a recording HUD out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need networking, message sync, or backend infrastructure - this component is UI only
- you want a Swift-first or SwiftUI chat implementation
- you target Android, cross-platform, or non-Apple platforms
- you need production chat features like encryption, push delivery, or offline queues built in
