I was definitely more excited for this project when they didn't randomly abandon it for over a year and a half unannounced. Also spell check is still non-functional. That feature seems like a requirement, otherwise it'd be an amazing keyboard. In fact, I'd say it would be the best.
I think that's on the development plate for 0.5 if I understand correctly.
Sadly AnysoftKeyboard hasn't seen a release in some time either. Still using it for now, though.
I agree. I dropped it recently for a non-FOSS alternative because I just can't deal with the lack of predictive text/autocorrect
I'm still excited. I've probably used it long enough to simply not miss autocorrect. And it does multilingual bit very well!
I'm currently using florisboard and like it.
My all time favorite android keyboard was the now defunct minuum. It had really good autocorrect and I got to the point where I could touch type fairly quickly with it. Also because of the way it was designed didn't take up half the screen. Even though I really liked it I eventually stopped using it because I started to care more about my privacy and FLOSS.

The video doesn't show it but you could expand the keyboard to regular size if you needed to type something specific.
I swear one day I'll learn Android app development just to take a stab at recreating unique input methods like this and Nintype 😢
Yeah there there's been some unique Android keyboards over the years. 8pen, fleksy, to name a couple.
It's a shame that the creators of minuum didn't open source the code when they went out of business.
