Every year or so I try one or more privacy focused keyboards. I always end up right back on SwiftKey after a couple of weeks because most of the keyboards I try have the same problem: the predictions suck.
Ok, I get that surveillance is good for predictions. Put another way, predictions are tough without collecting everything everyone types. Is there a best-of-both-worlds keyboard out there? I’d be patient enough to give it some time to learn how I type and get better.

thanks for making me aware of this, it’s pretty great! the swiping is definitely iffy overall but certainly better than nothing! im mainly just sad that it’s missing my beloved proper black and gray holo theme… sad…
But it has theme editor, you may use any colors…

They also haven’t released a version in over a year, or am I missing something? Also doesn’t seem to have a plan for smarter predictions beyond dictionary entries (what OP is looking for)
Latest version is week ago only… with experimental dictionarirs there is next word prediction indeed, also emoji replacements etc.
I am missing something then… Here is what I see on the page you have linked :
Yes, description include original readme. If you read carefully you will notice it. Those links are to original version. Fork is available to download from GitHub only.
I can confirm. Have been using this with swipe library for a while now and it made me finally ditch gboard 👍
Awesome, didn’t know there was another fork!
