Any good keyboard recommations?
(sh.itjust.works)
Every year or so I try one or more privacy focused keyboards. I always end up right back on SwiftKey after a couple of weeks because most of the keyboards I try have the same problem: the predictions suck.
Ok, I get that surveillance is good for predictions. Put another way, predictions are tough without collecting everything everyone types. Is there a best-of-both-worlds keyboard out there? I'd be patient enough to give it some time to learn how I type and get better.
Doesn't seem to have swipe typing, which is important for me. Otherwise it's great.
There's a fork that supports it, though it looks like it has become inactive, if you care about that https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard

I can confirm. Have been using this with swipe library for a while now and it made me finally ditch gboard ๐
thanks for making me aware of this, it's pretty great! the swiping is definitely iffy overall but certainly better than nothing! im mainly just sad that it's missing my beloved proper black and gray holo theme... sad...
oh it was kind of buried so i couldn't find it, thank you very much!
They also haven't released a version in over a year, or am I missing something? Also doesn't seem to have a plan for smarter predictions beyond dictionary entries (what OP is looking for)
I am missing something then... Here is what I see on the page you have linked :
Awesome, didn't know there was another fork!
ahh, yeah swipe typing is really tough to inplement well without data collection. i used to use it a lot back before i completely degoogled and id be lying if i said i didnt miss it. i honestly just couldn't find any foss keyboards at all that had swipe typing!
