Looks really great. Have you thought about submitting to CocoaControls? ( https://www.cocoacontrols.com/ ) It's the second place that I look for iOS components (after a simple Google search, that is).
Thanks! We submitted and it should be up on their site soon. (Pretty sure they are still reviewing it)
SlackTextViewController: A new growing text input for iOS

Re: SlackTextViewController: A new growing text input for iOS
#12We tried other popular text input projects for iOS, but none felt right and worked fully for our needs. We ended up spending a big portion of our time maintaining custom versions of other projects. For that reason, we decided to build our own growing text input from scratch, and we've just released it as open source. We hope you all will find it useful!

#13As someone that doesn't do iOS development it boggles my mind that you guys have to build this feature into your apps.
Kudos to all the iOS developers out there. I don't know how you guys manage to do it, but I'm sure glad you do and are willing to share your code with the rest of us.

#16Why would I want to use this rather than a UITableView where I append the newest message in the end of the UITableView every time (you'd have to increase it's length +1 for each new message, but hey that may be ok)?

#17Apple developed Swift to make developer's more expressive and efficient yet they do not provide simple controls like this. Can't tell you how many hours I wasted in the chat portion of my app trying to get a simple growing text input to work!

#18So I'm making iOS apps sometimes, but have not implemented a chat feature. Why would I want to use this rather than a UITableView where I append the newest message in the end of the UITableView every time (you'd have to increase it's length +1 for each new message, but hey that may be ok)?

#19Earlier quoted context omitted.
Atomic commits yo! But yes, it was built with much love and attention to details.
Agreed! Where I work, GitHub graphs make it look like I'm doing 5 times more work than everyone else. But I'm really just pushing commits more often.
Plus, our graphs look ridiculous, I'm easily 5-10 times over the others, but it's not that I'm doing more work, I just commit more often.

#20Care to elaborate? Sounds intriguingly crufty.
