I was looking for a react autocomplete library without dropdown and was unsuccessful finding one, so I created react-autocomplete-hint also as a way to learn being that this is my first library and OSS contribution. PRs and contributions are welcome, Thanks.

Congrats on the first OSS repo. Looks great. It’s a pretty interesting and slick way to go about it.

Great job! Also, I think a combination of dropdown (to show possible words/tokens) and non-dropdown could be interesting I tell myself is it possible to use your solution for autocomplete (code/content) writing? Do you use tokens?

No it’s not possible to use this solution for autocomplete code/content writing but it’s quite interesting to think of the possibility. I wonder what would be required to make that happen and how it would turn out.

Also I’m not sure I understand what you mean when you say tokens, what are you referring to there?

Those who have written a compiler or parser once I think can understand what's token
