[Feature request] Feature parity with FlorisBoard & FUTO voice input compatibility #40

Open Andrew-Mattias opened 1 week ago

There are two huge issues with Base AOSP keyboard, which is used as a base for FUTO keyboard:

  1. It is lackluster on features and options
  2. It is really sluggish and slow (to respond on gestures especially).

I dont know how you can deal with general sluggishness without rewriting big chunks keyboard codebase. The fact that smartphones that are able to render PS3 level games an 3D graphics are not snappy as hell when typing and lag on keyboard gestures is kinda embarrasing. FlorisBoard is a goog example to compare you keyboard to. FlBd is not an AOSP fork and it is considerably snappier, more responsive and silky smooth on gestures most of the time.

As for the features - if you are aiming to become №1 FOSS/Source first keyboard, you should reach feature-parity with FlorisBoard. Aside from swipe-input and and intellectual suggestions, Floris board is №1 Android keyboard when it comes to speed and feature-compleetness. I think there is no point at listing all FlorisBoard features here (many of which are already suggested in othe feature-requests), so i'll just provide a link to a project web-site

P.S. Can you List FlorisBoard as a compatible option for FUTO voice input if possible. FlorisBoard is a superb and megapopular keyboard on f-droid and it is compatible with your voice input.
