Hi all.
I used to follow the progress of Florisboard and stoped hearing from it a while back. I was anxiously waiting for swipe gestures and French predictive text.
I went to the GitHub, and while I see a few commits past June, latest release is more than a year old.
Was the project abandoned ?

Very instructive, thank you. Also heartwarming to see an answer from the Dev a week ago :)
Thanks for the link and a big show of support to the dev.
Seems like it. That’s sad, because it seems to be a very nice project and I’m still waiting for a FOSS keyboard that supports german and japanese input in one.
Well, it’s open source, so anyone can continue working on it.
Swipe gestures work even though it says beta.
Same as you,it seemes like an awesome project, I’d love to at least here from the dev about the status, I understand if he doesn’t have time anymore, but at least an update for the community would be awesome.
It suffered the fate of almost all small projects when the author decides to rewrite from scratch: they get abandoned.
You can use OpenBoard fork with gesture typing: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/releases I was told it uses Google’s gesture library which isn’t foss, but as long as there’s no internet connection, it should be fine hopefully
I wasn’t aware of this fork. Thank you.
