Really??!

I am extremely unfamiliar with it, literally hacked on it twice writing patches for Damus, but I find it extremely annoying having to read a bunch of different documentation just to be able to basic functionality.

Literally read three different blog posts on how to get a substring, one of them recommended writing some kind of wrapper interface. ChatGPT wrote code that was deprecated and wouldn't work on current Swift.

I just wanted to do the equivalent of "string".substr(2, 1) == `r` or something like that and even that felt like a nightmare 😭

Again, extremely unfamiliar with Swift, but 99% other languages you can infer basic functionality like this with no/minimal pain.
