I just wish languagetool made an android keyboard, all the open source options require some compromise with the autocorrect in my native language

@newhoa Well now that you also discovered the thread which explains the moderation here, maybe you should delete this comment?

Thanks! I’ve added a disclaimer to my original comment. I was also mistakenly under the impression it was open-source.

@Karcinogen Disclaimer isn’t going to cut it. Are you the same person as the other 5 guys in this thread who had exactly the same argument and also “solved” it by adding a disclaimer? Is this an organized spam campaign? Because it sure looks like that. If you like FUTO, fine, but go take it to a community that isn’t focused on open source. Is that too much to ask? Every week? With exactly the same arguments? Are you guys blind?

You got my hopes up. All I want is a keyboard that has swiping and doesn’t ever auto-insert spaces. Unfortunately this ain’t it.

It’s trying and I paid for it. But the swiping accuracy is shit still, and it has limited language support.
