Seeing this post made me flash back to how often wage theft happened to me during holidays as a teenager.

4th of July, New Year's... Didn't even know about time and a half.

Yeah, but they chose to use Reddit and gboard. Like 2/3 self-inflicted.

On android, what keyboard do you recommend for swipe typing?

Moving the cursor by swiping in space bar is also something I haven't found in other keyboards

Edit: thanks for all the replies, I'll be checking them all out.

I have been using SwiftKey for years and have been very happy with it. Spacebar swipe cursor movement included (but maybe in a setting).

Microsoft bought it :(

Heli-board (available via f-droid, be sure to apply the .lib fix)

I use FUTO. It has built in, private, voice to text as well. I don't swipe too often, but it seemed to work fine writing this comment.

I swipe a lot, and can confirm FUTO's keyboard swipe is games ahead of any FOSS keyboard.

Unfortunately, FUTO is not FOSS, but "source-first". That may be a turn-off for some.

Just as an aside, I hadn't heard of that cursor feature before, and this is wonderful. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. I have to keep my work phone loaded with all the Google/MS spyware, so I still use Gboard on that phone. This will make typing work emails a lot easier.

You're welcome.

FlorisBoard is a FOSS keyboard, that apparently has the space bar cursor thing (I just found that out, thank you).

It also has glide typing but I don't use it so idk how good it is. Still would recommend giving it a try. Very solid and customizable IMO, with FOSS privacy.

No other keyboard is as good but they're definitely more private.
