The only app I can’t live without. Except for gboard, all of my applications are Foss. There is no competition for gboard’s swipe typing, not to mention its many capabilities like as searching for gifs, stickers, being able to paste copied images, translating, and so on. I’d like to know how I can use gboard while maintaining my privacy. According to what I’ve heard, it sends all typing data to Google’s server. If you ask me, that’s a massive no-no. Do you have any suggestions?
The latest release being almost a year ago doesn’t exactly inspire confidence though.
Why is everyone obsessed with constant updates? It’s not broken, there’s nothing to fix. It’s a keyboard, I prefer it to be fast, reliable and not phone home.
I don’t need some bloated mess that will take 10 seconds to start and require a gigabyte of RAM because the devs need to push an update every week with new useless crap without testing it.
Regular updates doesn’t mean, new features all the time. It mostly means security updates, which are important.
