I'm excited to announce that the upcoming release of react-native-keyboard-controller, version 1.5.0, will include a new feature that allows users to control the position of the keyboard on the screen via gestures. This new interactive keyboard feature will make it easier for users to interact with the keyboard in a more natural and intuitive way, improving the overall user experience of your React Native app.
Many flagship applications that are written natively (such as Telegram, Instagram, etc.) use the full power of platform-specific native APIs (iOS, Android) to make transitions between opening/closing the keyboard animated and smooth.
Unfortunately, in react-native this aspect was given little attention and all react-native applications were suffering because of that - animations were rough, you couldn't write cross-platform code because some keyboard events were not available, etc. But with the advent of this library, everything changes... 😎
