Chatto
is a Swift lightweight framework to build chat applications. It's been designed to be extensible and performant. Along with Chatto
there is ChattoAdditions
, a companion framework which includes cells for messages and an extensible input component. You can find more details about how it was implemented in our blog. See them in action!
- Calculation of collection view changes and layout in background
- Supports pagination in both directions and autoloading
- Message count contention for fast pagination and rotation with thousands of messsages
- Accessory view revealing by swiping from right
- Interactive keyboard dismissal
- Text bubbles
- Photo bubbles
