#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.

How many examples do you expect from each person?

And wouldn't it be possible to get it from active sessions? With respect to privacy of course?
(I mean normal use during the day)

@joergi whatever you can want to give! Some give 5 some give 5000.

Helium, the maintainer, is still working on background collection. There are many considerations to be made.

Actively gathered data is easier for us to use, because it comes pre-labeled. Background collection, for the most part, can't be pre-labeled. Only when someone corrects an incorrect suggestion! This essentially means data gathered in the background isn't very helpful for doing *better* than the existing library.
