For those looking for a good #FOSS #Android keyboard app, #Heliboard is just about PERFECT now.

Kudos to the dev!

@rl_dane I'm liking it except it doesn't have drag-typing (or whatever that is). I've kind of started to get used to that.

@guyjantic

That's actually very easy to add!

@rl_dane My hero! I'm on it.

@guyjantic @rl_dane if you want to help us add gesture typing out of the box, check this out. Cheers!

Edit: there is also more detailed instructions about getting it working in the current version.

#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.
