FUTO Keyboard: The Discussion Behind A Cool Product (tedium.co)

A pretty interesting take, and an interesting discussion about what it means to be open source. Is there room for a trusted space between open source and closed corporate software?

I like the keyboard but it crashes frequently and android reverts back to gboard. On my OnePlus 9 pro.

Counter point, it hasn't crashed once in my one plus 9 though I wish Swype worked better. I'm super happy to have another option though and am powering through it.

Same, but on a Pixel 8. Swiping kinda sucks, but it's better than FOSS alternatives, and the suggestions are pretty good.

I've been using it for about a month now on a pixel phone and it's been excellent. Parts of it are still in alpha, but I have been lucky.

I installed it on my Z-Flip 4 recently and it works well. The only issues I've had besides having to retrain it is related to vibration feedback. Tab vibration on auto doesn't work, and there's no vibration when swiping on the spacebar to move the cursor.
