Every year or so I try one or more privacy focused keyboards. I always end up right back on SwiftKey after a couple of weeks because most of the keyboards I try have the same problem: the predictions suck.
Ok, I get that surveillance is good for predictions. Put another way, predictions are tough without collecting everything everyone types. Is there a best-of-both-worlds keyboard out there? I’d be patient enough to give it some time to learn how I type and get better.
Closest I got was Florisboard because of the customization options
The main things I’m looking for (in order) are
Google Keyboard works really nicely and it’s hard to give up on some of that
Can you link me? Searching it in the Play Store turns up some weird results.
It’s on fdroid :)

This sucks. What kind of suggestions are these?
The dev is implementing his own word suggestion engine. It will take time before it’s properly implemented.
Suggestions aren’t a thing in Florisboard yet. Still a WIP.
Then why the hell is the top comment recommending Florisboard and saying predictions are highest priority?
ok yep that’s pretty terrible
If you need word suggestions use OpenBoard. If you dont, Florisboard is king.
I always turned off these “you cant type and I know it better anyways” suggestions. Also bilingual + colloquial is not great
