I just tried HeliBoard. Ditching Florisboard for now. I still think Florisboard has potential but it is undeveloped, and HeliBoard has everything you’d expect for a Gboard open source substitution. Let’s go! Finally we have our first open source keyboard alternative without drawbacks!
I’m in the same position because FlorisBoard will over time have all the features that HeliBoard has but HeliBoard has those already so I may switch too

That’s mean.
Florisboard is awesome.
It’s been years without a single new feature, and it’s literally lacking the most important feature of a phone keyboard.

they are both great, but combined they would be a foss diamond of of cosmic porportions and never before reached ingenuity.
I am also a great fan of florisboard but the spell check being broken for over a year is kind of a deal breaker. Cause I am dyslectic af.
Requiring a proprietary blob for key functionality (pun intended) is a pretty major drawback, to me.
I know it’s technically optional but it’s a selling point of this software: “openboard but it supports swipe typing”
