FOSS keyboard under active development? (Android)
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.

FlorisBoard is great! It's not had a release in about year but that doesn't mean it's not under active development. The developer is currently working on the Natural Language Processing component.
+1 for Florisboard. Patrick is diligently working on the NLP. Currenlty it is in phase 2 which is also the most important and the most challenging.
In the meantime, if someone wants the Material You version of Florisboard that visually resembles Gboard, you can check it here
Just downloaded it to give it a try! So far missing autocorrect a little bit, but, honestly, I'm optimistic about how the keyboard can improve my typing (and diction). Much slower but also more well thought out. Auto lets you type fast, maybe too fast.
I will have to get used to typing apostrophes again though...
I had to stop using it for now. I need the autocorrect bad. I'm using a build of open board I found that has swipe for now until Floris updates.
