This will also help #LinuxMobile. There are rumors that this might get integrated into #stevia 🎹 (as you might have heard at our last community get together):

#Heliboard is gathering gesture typing data, so that we can implement a #FOSS alternative to the closed gesture typing library Heliboard currently relies on. The data we collect will be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0 I also made a video including details & instructions. Boosts Please! The greater the diversity of people & languages in the data, the better we can test for correctness.

We just landed initial support for Chinese (via #pinyin) and Japanese (via #anthy / romaji) in #Phosh's on screen keyboard #stevia using #uim 🥳

As our current maintainers don't speak / write these languages we appreciate testing feedback and people joining development so we can improve things further in this important area.

#LinuxMobile

Anybody had any luck getting Stevia (the onscreen keyboard that currently comes with Phosh, at least on PostmarketOS) to run on GNOME Mobile?
Phosh is OK, but I'm more used to the design language & tooling of GNOME, even on mobile. On the flip side of that, trying Phosh let me see how useful Stevia could be.
I'm not dead-set against Phosh, just don't want to expend the effort on transferring my whole workflow to it while it has some interface behaviors/conventions I find a bit less than intuitive (no close button on windows/apps, but like GNOME offers but Phosh makes necessary, the expectation to swipe up to close apps).
I may or may not save the frustration over re-setting muscle memory for the Sailfish OS interface on a Jolla phone. In the meantime, I like Stevia over GNOME's default onscreen keyboard, and wonder if it's possible to switch between them while maintaining GNOME as my mobile DE.
I should point out, I've searched documentation and it shows how to switch between Phosh's old OSK Squeekerboard & back, but while search confirms (as I knew) that Phosh is a fork of GNOME, it says nothing of using Stevia *on* GNOME. I've been able to install Stevia and its dependencies, and then the Phosh default OSK meta-package, too. But with no direct OSK (meta-?)package for the GNOME OSK to replace, I'm left asking this question to folks who might know, cuz the GNOME keyboard is always what comes up no matter after logging out & back in, rebooting, etc., and no alternative seems to exist in the Keyboard section of Settings (and there is no Keyboard section of Tweaks).

We've just merged some code to automatically scale up the on screen keyboard in landscape on larger screens like tablets also allowing it to use more horizontal space.

While at that we also added the necessary bits to scale up font and icons on the keyboard's keys accordingly which also helps on phones when going to higher resolutions.

There's still some low hanging improvements like scaling down in landscape on phones or improving the touch area for the shortcuts and completion bars. Let us know if you want to help with that!

#MobileLinux folks, is there a way to use the #stevia on-screen keyboard from #Phosh on #GnomeMobile ?

Oh ganz vergessen. Gestern abend haben wir mal #stevia Blätter getestet um unseren #Kakao (#vegan, mit #hafermilch) zu süßen. War besser als erwartet. Kaum Gewöhnung Notwendig 😁.

Beraten wurden wir im Südamerika Shop.

"Ne, nehmt nicht das Pulver. Das ist son verarbeiteter Zeug. Nehmt die Blätter. Aber nicht zu viel, das ist Stark! Ich zereib die immer in der Hand" sagte der Deutsch Peruaner 😁

A couple month ago, I bought a 2 oz (59 mL) bottle of Stevia extract which contains 368 servings (5 drops each). It cost $7.50. That's $0.02 per serving to sweeten a cup of tea without spiking my blood sugar. That was a couple months ago and I'm still using the same bottle every day, multiple times a day. (I drink a lot of tea.) It feels like I might need to order another bottle soon.
