FlorisBoard is a free and open-source keyboard for Android 7.0+ devices. It aims at being modern, user-friendly and customizable while fully respecting your privacy. Currently in early-beta state.
Without suggestions/predictions and auto-correction it’s unable especially for a lazy user like me. Hopefully someone makes extensions for them.
FlorisBoard is my favourite FLOSS Android keyboard. Waiting for swype-typing feature to be implemented to it.
Thanks, I am really looking forward to a more stable version to replace Gkeyboard.
Its in perpetual beta like lawnchair where the only releases are betas/alphas while the stable is left behind quite a lot
With Samsung’s AI grammar correction, I can’t put it down.
If you’re willing to implement something like this, it would be amazing.
I think it’s literally a Grammerly addon (but I’m not OP)
I’d be interested in one for LanguageTool instead
I haven’t used the Samsung keyboard in years so I don’t know what the comparison would be. I do think that for the most part, FOSS keyboards lag a couple years behind Google, Microsoft, etc. This is one that looks promising, but is still a long way off from a “complete” app.
I guess it depends on how much you care about privacy. There are a number of private keyboards now to choose from, but if you trust Samsung (Google, MS, etc.) with your keyboard data then it may make it worth the upgrade in features
