on: SlackTextViewController: A new growing text input for iOS
We do the same thing, custom views, mostly drawn in -drawRect:, reused in different cells. It's actually a very nice technique but like you said, the are some sacrifices to take. Still, these cells depend of a tableViewcCell which has unique properties and special APIs that collectionViewCells don't.
I think the most trikcy part here is to be able to build a custom UICollectionViewLayout allowing to display cells from the bottom. Haven't found any third-party doing it well enough yet. Do you know of any?

Most definitely! UICollectionViewLayout should be the right answer, but the thing is: the Slack iOS app was already built using UITableView, drawing many many custom cells.
We'll probably port someday to UICollectionView ;)

By subclassing SlackTextViewController, you'll get a tableView or collectionView, and a toolbar at the bottom containing the growing text input. That's basically it.
You may decide later to override some methods for disabling or enabling more features.

Try this out and let us know what you think. It's been designed in a way where you shouldn't care about the growing text input and trivial features related to it, but to build your tableView/collectionView cells and content.

I believe that atomic commits makes things easier later, if you need to roll back, stash, or branch out. It's just hard to keep the habit going and not become lazy :)

Atomic commits yo! But yes, it was built with much love and attention to details.
