I'm currently using florisboard and like it.

My all time favorite android keyboard was the now defunct minuum. It had really good autocorrect and I got to the point where I could touch type fairly quickly with it. Also because of the way it was designed didn't take up half the screen. Even though I really liked it I eventually stopped using it because I started to care more about my privacy and FLOSS.

The video doesn't show it but you could expand the keyboard to regular size if you needed to type something specific.

I swear one day I'll learn Android app development just to take a stab at recreating unique input methods like this and Nintype 😢

Yeah there there's been some unique Android keyboards over the years. 8pen, fleksy, to name a couple.

It's a shame that the creators of minuum didn't open source the code when they went out of business.
