I initially tried FUTO and switched to Heliboard (which uses a closed-source glide typing library) because FUTO’s open-source version frankly sucked.
I didn’t know I could make it better.

It takes a lot of time and a lot of peoples typing data from my understanding. It’s relatively easy for Google to make the glide/Swype type since they have a huge amount of peoples typing data. FUTO on the other hand has been making an open source version for probably 6 months or so no, solely relying on volunteers inputting words on their website.
For those interested in helping make the library better: https://swype.futo.org/ (it
probablyonly works on mobile)
I like FUTO keyboard and also use it alongside HeliBoard, but I want to present the following before someone else beats me to the punch and gets all pissy about it in the comments: technically it’s not open source. It’s “source available”. Do with that what you will. Regardless, I like what they’ve made. Grayjay is great too.
I also use Heliboard, and probably won’t go back to FUTO.
Same question, though. Is the glide-typing dataset under the same source available license?
