I could not recommend AnySoftKeyboard to my mum. I could recommend Florisboard, tho.
Openboard is virtually dead from what I can see. So that leaves Florisboard as the only open source alternative (that I know of) that could really be used by the masses. And the world would actually be a way better place if we all opensource freaks could install Florisboard on our family/friends phones and them barely noticing anything weird.
The problem is… no word suggestions yet. It’s been years and we are still lacking what is almost an essential feature of a phone’s keyboard.
I wish I could really work on it, but I lack the knowledge to do so; so I hope I am bringing some attention to the project.
Is there any other alternative I am unaware of?
This doesn’t have word-prediction, but I develop !thumbkey@lemmy.ml as one of my side projects.
Just tried it out. It’s a really cool app for casual messaging. I’m not sure if I can use it on something like Termux, but it’s a cool option to have.
There are some programmer layouts, but it has some issues on termux atm.
how long does it take to get fluid with it? This is my 5th day and it’s still a bit difficult for me
Took me like a week or so to get up to 40wpm. I’d recommend making the key sizes larger if you’re having trouble remembering.
cheers, will keep at it
This is fantastic! Written on thumb split
