I just tried HeliBoard. Ditching Florisboard for now. I still think Florisboard has potential but it is undeveloped, and HeliBoard has everything you'd expect for a Gboard open source substitution. Let's go! Finally we have our first open source keyboard alternative without drawbacks!
That's mean.
Florisboard is awesome.
It's been years without a single new feature, and it's literally lacking the most important feature of a phone keyboard.
Without auto correct, you can seperate the wheat from the chaff. /s
they are both great, but combined they would be a foss diamond of of cosmic porportions and never before reached ingenuity.
I am also a great fan of florisboard but the spell check being broken for over a year is kind of a deal breaker. Cause I am dyslectic af.
Requiring a proprietary blob for key functionality (pun intended) is a pretty major drawback, to me.
I know it's technically optional but it's a selling point of this software: "openboard but it supports swipe typing"
I'm in the same position because FlorisBoard will over time have all the features that HeliBoard has but HeliBoard has those already so I may switch too
