HeliBoard has been my chosen SwiftKey replacement: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard
Features I value:
It does suck to see an app that I loved and paid for (yes, I used it for THAT long) get enshittified and try push AI* down my throat.
Not to mention M$ owning my typing history (which I kinda could live with).
RIP SwiftKey.
Just tried this one and it seems decent. most of all I'm noticing that it's way quicker to load than SwiftKey which has become soooo bloated.
Happen to know if it's going to be on f-droid at some point?
It's not in the default F-droid repo, but you can get it on fdroid in the izzyondroid repo
The latest release hints towards F-Droid availability: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/releases/tag/v1.2
It's available on the IzzyOnDroid repo
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/helium314.keyboard
If you add Izzy-on-Droid as a source to f droid you can install it from there.
I downloaded it using Droid-ify. It's like F-droid without the F-droid drama, which i forgot the details of. Someone convinced me to switch and it was painless.
It's on froid
