I really like heliboard. It works without network permissions, has autocorrect, and can do emojis

Looks tempting but the repo has active issues going back 2 years without being resolved. I'll still probably give it a go tho, seems a popular opinion, thanks

I've been using it without major caveats since October last year. Even tried the proprietary swiping library you can install (it uses the Gboard one iirc, but OFC it can't do shenanigans since it's isolated by the app and not connected to the internet)
