I have been looking all day for a FOSS keyboard that's under active development. It seems like more of not all of the ones I've seen recommended haven't been updated in over a year some three years. I don't mind if it's a long time between updates but I want to know bugs will be fixed eventually.

Thumb-key by one of the developers of Lemmy. It takes some getting used to but is my favorite at the moment. Updates seem to be around once a month.

Wait, is this a clone of Messagease? I was hoping to find something like that because I love this type of keyboard but I was worried that it hasn't received updates since 2020.

It says it's mainly inspired by MessageEase in the F-droid description. It uses a custom character layout, but you can change to the MessageEase layout in the settings.

Unfortunately, it doesn't support customizing the layout like MessagEase.

It's perfect for emoticons tho :->

I like it but it's very hard for me to type this lol

you can use this? Like as a primary keyboard? It's cool though!

[-] Zenaida_macroura@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yup! I'm getting an average 70 wpm using it. It's quite fun to use (:
