Chat app use case #211

Hello there, I'm just wondering if this plugin fits the bill to create a chat like UI. Like similar to whatsapp etc. I have spent a whole day trying a few other angular based virtual scroll and none of them fit the use case. none of them have variable height *known only during runtime, working properly. some do but the height needs to be determined before hand . And for some the array have to be mutable cannot add to the datasource have to create a new array and re-render which is not good for performance since new messages will come often while the user is chatting. And for chat UI the scroll direction is reversed and it should render from the bottom up. i dont need to worry about remote fetching all the messages will be in an array from localstorage. does this fit the bill?

Will probably experiment with this too in a few days but maybe I can get strategy or approach or maybe saves me sometime if this does not fit the bill.

Thank you!
