I was definitely more excited for this project when they didn’t randomly abandon it for over a year and a half unannounced. Also spell check is still non-functional. That feature seems like a requirement, otherwise it’d be an amazing keyboard. In fact, I’d say it would be the best.
I agree. I dropped it recently for a non-FOSS alternative because I just can’t deal with the lack of predictive text/autocorrect
HeliBoard is a good foss option that has autocorrect and stuff! You can also give it swipe typing by supplying your own proprietary blob, so that’s neat. Better than using a non-foss keyboard!
I’ve used HeliBoard for a while before going back to GBoard, unfortunately. It’s a decent keyboard but I’m a swipe feature user and prediction plus autocorrect was very bad for me using it. I used FlorisBoard for a while also and it has more features,but no swipe support at all,plus only English support.
