AI Analysis
●●SolidNiche GemCozy
TextKit 2 + SwiftUI bridging that actually ships in a production writing app.
Strengths
- •Production-tested in Nodes app with real users, not just a demo repo.
- •Wiki-link roundtripping and LaTeX rendering handled natively.
- •Writing Tools integration on macOS 15.1+ shows forward compatibility.
Weaknesses
- •macOS 14+ requirement limits audience to relatively recent hardware.
- •Component library rather than standalone tool—requires integration work.
