While React Native <Text> components do support a `selectable` prop, you can only copy the whole block of text.

BlueSky wrote an awesome library to handle proper selection as most users desire.

Now using it in the new Loops app, and soon in the Pixelfed app ✨

@dansup boosting this because this is such a small thing that actually prevents a lot of annoyance in daily use. Thanks for caring about the details.

I guess that explains why so many apps have such a hideous text-selection experience
