Rationale?

Hey, this looks interesting - I'm curious what (if anything) was missing from the heavy-inspiration-source of SlackTextViewController that caused you to create this library? Why would one use MessageViewController instead?

Hey @scottcc ! I was using Slacks control for GitHawk but I kept having to patch the project to fix bugs or make tiny customizations. Finally decided that I needed more control and a decoupled design. This this project!

My main advantages:

• Use autocomplete on its own (attach to random text views)
• iPhone X support
• No iOS 11 hacks
• Simpler animations
• Protocols instead of method overrides

Also, it has been stated slack isn't really continuing development on it - see the "is this a dead library" issue over there.

These are great reasons to have on the main README as to "why" 😉 to use this app, IMHO. And I love protocols over method overrides!
