FlorisBoard used to be my keyboard, but a couple months ago I found the Unexpected Keyboard. Both keyboards don't have spell suggestion.
FlorisBoard didn't have update for almost a year, but the developer is still working on it. The Unexpected Keyboard had an update last month.
Between those keyboards I prefer the Unexpected Keyboard.
I tried Floris recently. It looks really promising, but I found the swipe input to be maddeningly frustrating - obscure words chosen over common alternatives etc. That was the reason I most wanted to migrate from Gboard. Alas. There's still nothing out there in this respect which beats the old Swype back in the day for me (though of course it wasn't FOSS).
Oh, I forgot about. I suffered from the same problem. It also happened when I tried swiping long words. I would get a completely different word or nothing at all.
