I use MessagEase, which has a wacky layout that makes typos much less frequent, and thus doesn't need autocorrect.

Not open-source, unfortunately.

Thanks, this looks interesting. And the settings. So many settings and I love settings :D

No permissions at all is pretty impressive. The only thing I can’t figure out: How will they make money? They seem to have run a IndieGoGo campaign and now ask for donations (hidden in the settings), but that will eventually run out.

This is especially worrying with something as specialized as this.

The lack of availability in the future and on other platforms (such as non-Android Linux phones) is my only worry.

But it shouldn't be that hard to clone, if something should happen to it.

Oof. Just looked it up and it immediately gets my fancy. How was the learning curve? And any downsides that you now have?

[CarVac]

It took me only three or so days to get used to it.

The lack of autocorrect was so refreshing that I just kept typing for practice.

The downside now is that, unlike the QWERTY to Dvorak switch, I've become exceedingly clumsy at typing on ordinary phone keyboards.

It's proving to be right up my alley. I switched to programmer's dvorak on the PC for exactly this reason; in the harebrained pursuit of ever increasing ergonomic efficiency!

I'm sold :) Going to try it out for a couple of weeks and see how it feels.
