I tried heliboard. It apparently kicks ass on the back end but the front end sucks and that's the part I use.
FUTO Keyboard is the one!
With FUTO it feels nearly perfect, only issue is that in daily use I write a weird mix of German and English even in the same sentence, and hence I need full mixed-language input which it doesn't seem to support (yet).
For a second I really thought I had now finally found an alternative to Gboard but unfortunately the swiping detection is really poor and I need it to be able to use German and English at the same time. So I guess it's still back to Gboard. :(
The swipe feature isn't quite done yet, they have a dataset they are building that you can contribute to in a fun way if you want.
Soon the swipe feature will be good.

That's great to hear. I just swiped a lot of words, hope it helps 😄
Out of curiosity, do you like swiping the most? Futo's voice recognition is really good actually, I don't use it and prefer typing myself, it just seems like normal typing is the only thing I can do the most consistently and I seem to be decently quick at it.
Thanks for the recommendation, trying FUTO out and really liking it. Gboard posts end in good FOSS recs.
