> But I still cannot make a simple thing work properly: a chat with Markdown & the ability to select a whole message. Sorry, sounds like bullsh_t. One can leverage mature markdown renderers in SwiftUI. See https://github.com/gonzalezreal/swift-markdown-ui and its next gen replacement https://github.com/gonzalezreal/textual . Used these myself and had no issues. And I am a moron who doesn't like Swift or SwiftUI - preferred Objective-C, but still managed to do this, without any LLM help.
“the many open source projects which offer Markdown support”

I'm suggesting that instead of going with the heaviest-possible option, they first explore built-in capabilities like TextEditor ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/texteditor ) and/or the many open source projects which offer Markdown support ( https://github.com/gonzalezreal/textual ).
