FUTO keyboard no doubt, it's very modern. It has voice typing and swipe typing which is essential to me. It's also just a nice typing experience.

Sadly this community is on the instance lemmy.ml which is known for mod abuse. Other instances are better

Tho this specifically is admin abuse, which is visible on the modlog. The mods aren't involved in this one.

IIRC it's not open source

It's "open source" but not fully free. You can modify it to your liking, but you cannot modify it commercially.

Dude, I had been using the default keyboard from GrapheneOS since I couldn't find a decent keyboard and gave up on swiping all together. I had heard about the futo keyboard but was unaware how mature it is. I installed it and set it up. I am very pleased! It has a lot of settings, and while the swiping isn't perfect yet, I can actually feel like it's learning from my usage. Very encouraging and it really brings me joy.

The Google keyboard was the best for me, but this is really not far behind. Thank you FUTO! Will be donating <3

If you want to train FUTO keyboard's swipe typing, go to this link. They are sourcing swipe data from the community.

Oh yes I've trained it extensively on that website when it first launched! But thanks for the reminder!
