minus-squareKerb@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 months agoi use Thumb-key, its very strict about privacy, and all about swiping inputs. but its a rather radical concept. i used hacker’s keyboard a lot, but i never used swiping before Thumb-key, so i dont know how well it supports swiping. I also used Gboard a lot, because i really like the clipboard functionality, but thats obviously what you are trying to get away from.

minus-squareKerb@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 months agoid say it took at least a week of concious effort to not switch back. after that it was still patchy but usable for a few weeks. now i mostly got it down, and imo my biggest gripe now is the lack of a dictionary/spellcheck. keep in mind that i dont chat much, so it might be a faster adaption, if you write a lot.
