Whenever I explain my #research at Google into mobile text editing, I'm usually met with blank stares or a slightly hostile "Everyone can edit text on their phones, right? What's the problem?"
Text editing on mobile isn't ok. It's actually much worse than you think, an invisible problem no one appreciates. I wrote this post so you can understand why it's so important.

@scottjenson I have found I almost entirely rely on the Android/Gboard spacebar cursor for accurate text selection. I like that it’s where my fingers already are when typing, but its main problem IMHO is discoverability; I don’t think I have ever seen someone using Android know about it before I showed them.
I would love to tackle this in GNOME/GTK. It jives with the direction of making GNOME the best adaptive experience across mobile/touch and traditional computers/mouse/keyboard.
@cassidy @scottjenson in nemo we had a thinkpad-style trackpad that moved the cursor. Windows Phone also added this later (I like to think they copied our idea, although unlikely)
