I found this looking for an alternative to Hacker's Keyboard and I love it. Only issue I have is the punctuation characters. I wish they weren't scattered around the keyboard and were confined to the number keys like with Hacker's Keyboard. Other than than that, I think it's pretty damn perfect. I thought I'd have issues with the whole "swipe on a key to reach the corner characters", and it does take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it starts to feel almost intuitive.

Not so useful in Spanish. The area assigned to each key is tiny in portrait mode, which makes it unusable to people with large hands like mine. Using language-specific accents is a pain. There is barely any useful documentation. The keyboard might be "perfect" for the developer himself. It would be interesting to learn what percentage of people unistall it after suffering it for a while.

My usual keyboard wouldn't work with my Android 14 2024 Moto g 5G so I looked for another that might offer simular features. This keyboard really was unexpected!! It has all sorts of useful editing functions. It takes some practice to learn how to access everything, but once I learned to swipe towards a symbol to type it, and how to adjust settings, great! It's well worth a try for those who do a lot of writing on phones. Check out the settings to see what it can do.
