The project is open source on Codeberg and continues to evolve with layouts like French frappefluide.

I would like to see an auto cap & an apostrophe option. This is a great replacement to the Message Ease board. I do like that developer is genuinely vested into the updates (seemed responsive on Reddit).

Great app, I came from Messages because I didn't like their subscription model (I am willing to pay for a good app but not monthly for one that hasn't been developed for years). An option to share a configured keyboard layout would be great to change phones. Also, an option to long-press on the back-button to repeatedly delete letters would be awesome, it's a little tedious to tap a lot to delete a sentence. A plus would be to be able to add special letters to an already existing layout.

Not good, too much tapping for a blind guy

Good alt to Messages but doesn’t have autocorrect and doesn’t plan to have one.
