Re: SlackTextViewController: A new growing text input for iOS
#2We 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!

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).

#4Wow. 192 commits. ~1.5 months of work. For a UITextInputField. This pod was made with love.

#5If this works well, then it's enormously useful. I spent way too many hours trying to get the existing solutions to work, without success. (In the end, I had to implement the view in HTML and JavaScript!)

Thanks! We submitted and it should be up on their site soon. (Pretty sure they are still reviewing it)

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.

I believe that atomic commits makes things easier later, if you need to roll back, stash, or branch out. It's just hard to keep the habit going and not become lazy :)

#10As someone that doesn't do iOS development it boggles my mind that you guys have to build this feature into your apps.
