"Look at what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power!" - HeliBoard
- Heliboard is easily the best fully open source keyboard.
  
  The problem is how aggressive it is with its Personal Dictionary use; it auto-applies shorthand instead of requiring you to tap in the autocorrect pane. I've sorta gotten used to it, but it's quite a departure from every other keyboard I've ever used.
Lol this has been on FUTO forever. It has better voice typing, too, and its all on-device.
- Let me know when they fix the Swype accuracy (currently it's unusable)
- I was about to say the only thing missing from futo keyboard is multilingual typing, but then I checked to be sure, ans turns out they already added that!
  
  I love the Futo Keyboard project, even paid for it. But their swipe typing support is absolutely hot garbage right now.
  
  Yep, I regularly switch between three languages, and one is a complex format. No complaints whatsoever.
  Heliboard is also an excellent option. The best multilingual keyboard IMO is the highly underrated AnySoftKeyboard. It is built from the ground up, so it is very different from the AOSP Keyboards and can be a little bit of an adjustment. Development also seems dormant.
  (FUTO, Heli, Simple, Fossify, GBoard, etc are all built on AOSP. I think Florisboard is also built from the ground up, although it's not yet feature complete)
Just needs florisboard to have swipe typing and word suggestions/autocorrect back. Then I can ditch Gboard
Also I need to close a bank account because its bank app doesn't even allow a third party keyboard. Yes, it's bloody asinine, and there are plenty of people that have the bank 1 star reviews and they still double down on "It'S fOr SeCuRiTy AnD yOuR oWn GoOd"
Extremely frustrating
- Why not heliboard? That has both those things
  
  Somehow I like how florisboard looks and the settings is a bit to my liking
