Gboard is getting visibly worse almost on a daily basis, especially autocorrecting perfectly legitimate words, presumably based on dubious analysis of other people’s writing. So what’s worth trying? The ability to swipe type is a big plus

    FlorisBoard is open source and supports swipe

    Thumb-key is also an interesting concept but very different with a higher learning curve

        swipe has always worked for me with florisboard

        EDIT: kinda funny that I’m downvoted when I literally typed this comment using swipe functionality on florisboard lol

      I tried it recently - no swiping. Maybe it’s the language? Although it does say in the app it’s been disabled.
