Stop Hand-Rolling Chat UIs: Streaming LLM Tokens Into React Native Without the Jank

A chat screen looks like a weekend project: a list of bubbles and a text input pinned to the bottom. In React Native, it is one of the hardest things to ship well, because it sits on top of the two most hostile surfaces in mobile development: the software keyboard and a scrolling list that changes size while you’re looking at it. We’re putting LLMs into everything now, and there is still no good drop-in chat view for React Native.
