A while ago I figured out how to extend my native TextKit 2 based markdown renderer to support full blown markdown tables with full text selection support. At the time this was quite novel.
I'm now working on a fresh rewrite with iOS support... But as someone who's wasted a lot of time on side projects, could this be profitable?
I almost had a sponsor but he ghosted me. Since then other libraries and commercial apps like ChatGPT and Grok have improved their markdown UI/UX.
I'm thinking about abandoning this endeavor. However it feels wasteful to just drop this and all the experience I accumulated in the meantime. Moreover this proof of concept prototype is still superior in a few ways, notably with regard to text selection and typesetting.
