  • flickboard

    Flicking keyboard for Android

  • After also running into issues with thumb-key (primarily: the quite primitive gesture recognition) I ended up starting a rewrite of my own.[0] It's still very far from the polish of MessagEase or even thumb-key, but it is getting to the point where I can mostly daily-drive it, and it does already support U and O gestures.

  • Unexpected-Keyboard

    A lightweight virtual keyboard for developers.

  • [5] https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard

  • multiling-o-esbr

    My custom configuration files for the Multiling-o keyboard. Based on Kasnerz version and hopefully adapted to Spanish and Portuguese

  • I'm also interested in this. MessageAse was my daily driver keyboard until some bugs appeared, then I switched to Multiling O (here's my messagease inspired layout https://github.com/racuna/multiling-o-esbr ) but is also abandoned with not fixed bugs.

    Now I'm using thumb-key as my daily keyboard but waiting for them to add more features, or just jump to another keyboard app.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
