I've been using FUTO Keyboard and I'm very happy with it so far. EDIT: It's not FOSS but the source code is available and you are allowed to copy/modify it, just not to make money from it. That's good enough for me.

Damn it's not FOSS? Time to jump ship

it is, except that it places some restrictions on forking the code: changing the donation links and keeping the branding.

So at worst it's source available.

@freijon the question was specifically about open-source. Is this your first day here?

Anyone, including people who have never been here should be welcomed

Feel free to inspect the source code here: https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard

@freijon feel free to learn what "open source" means. Look, considering the number and frequency of posts in this community talking about this issue, you don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore. People arguing that futo is open source are just spammers. Look around.

No need to be unfriendly. I modified my original comment to make sure everyone understands what they get when they install this keyboard.

Thanks for editing, but I deleted your comment anyway because it was still just recommending something that is not open source.

fyi there is a thread here discussing the moderation of this thread.

Well, this is just stupid. I was trying to share my experience about a cool piece of software I've found in the hopes that someone finds it useful. But instead of a friendly discussion, I'm just met with hostility. Unsubscribing.
