      I went looking for an offline keyboard a while ago, tried Helibord, but couldn’t figure out how to resize the keyboard, which for me is an accessibility issue since I can currently only type one handed.

      Ended up going with FUTO for that reason. Swipe and STT sealed the deal.

      Their Swype works but it’s a little overly sensitive.

      There’s an option to install their voice typing with it too.

      I’m not going to say that it’s perfect, but it is by far better than anything else that’s not Google or Android. I do wish it was FOSS, but SA is an acceptable compromise for something that works as well as it does. And as privately as it is.

          They invented their own license after facing backlash

          Calling it source available.

          They have/had people on their sponsor site that dont know about it.

          Tbh did not really follow it that much

          I personally think often times the outcry of the open source community is overblown.

          I follow and watch companies and entities over years, actions speak louder than words. And oftentimes (in the open source world) people actually do change for the better just not 5 minutes after am angry mob called them a vibecoding stupid cunt.

          Long story short.

          Bit of suss behavior by futo, but since then it’s been really quite around them and they continue to deliver banger software that might not be open source but source available
