#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.

@theeclecticdyslexic @IzzyOnDroid is there good reason not to adopt AnySoftKeyboard's gesture code?

@mjr @IzzyOnDroid Their code is not compatible with the library we use. (Which is a proprietary fork of the AOSP JNI latinIME lib.)

We hope to make it so that the code we write could drop in replace the that library. Allowing AOSP keyboard to use the code as well.

Then, there is also the case that their code is written in java, and we are hoping that in the process of doing this we provide a library that could be used on linux phones in the future, not just on android.
