Show HN: Bypass HTML with native Markdown rendering on Android and iOS

Bypass may be accessible to blind users on Android; I'm not currently set up to verify this easily. But it's not on iOS.

The reason is that on iOS, Bypass implements its own UIKit views. It does use the CoreText framework to render the text into a CoreGraphics context, but that doesn't help accessibility. The views would need to implement the UIAccessibility protocol.

The iOS implementation has the capability to use different rendering methods. I know that there is one that can render to a label that should work with accessibility.
