This is a very solid alternative to Google’s keyboard, the only issue is that it’s not European.
Just use the AOSP keyboard
Is it even permissible to use lemmy with any other keyboard than thumb key?
Wow that seems cool
I cant believe I’ve been typing on a full size keyboard all these years!
I just downloaded it for the first time and I’m currently using it to type this comment.
It will take some practice to get used to this. 😅 Thanks for the recommendation.
A truly open alternative would be Heliboard:
https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoardEDIT: one possible issue with HeliBoard is that swype input relies on an external closed-source library that needs to be downloaded and installed manually.
Futo are apparently a somewhat shady company, so do your own research and if you don’t like what you find check out Heliboard, Florisboard or Fossify Keyboard (all on Fdroid) to name a few.
Oh. It’s that FUTO. I had the feeling the name rang a bell
Yep 😿
This should be pinned somehow.
I read their explanation on being “source available” instead of open source, didn’t sound unreasonable to me. But I’ll do further research… In the meantime one of my bank apps doesn’t trust it either and refuses to open if that’s the keyboard being used.
As with other FUTO services, FUTO Keyboard is source available, not open source.
Yep, I just read their explanation on that, doesn’t sound unreasonable to me…
Whether their reasons are reasonable or not, it’s not open source. FUTO minimizes the difference between the two, having originally sought to make their own definition of open source before qualifying it with the term ‘source first’ (i.e. source available).
Just fixed the title
Interesting. I’ve been using AnySoftKeyboard. Gesture typing is a bit spotty but in general it’s ok
I get where people are coming from with Ban American, but it seems like open source should be an exception.
Sometimes.
Depending on whether free US software was made with privacy concerns in mind or not.
I ditched Swiftkey some months ago. I tried several foss keyboards but it led me to FUTO and I like it the most.
