The successor of Openboard, Heliboard finally comes out in 1.0 my favorite open source keyboard out there.

minus-squareZuberi 👀@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoBut how often do I need to update my keyboard lol?
minus-squareoni@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoIf you’re satisfied with it, you don’t need to update. But Openboard lacks a lot of features many people want. The biggest of them is probably the glide typing, which Heliboard supports. And it also added a lot of quality of life improvements.
minus-squarehelpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 year agoSome new features, bug fixes, and ongoing support. It is a new application so you do have to set it up fresh - don’t switch until you have a bit of spare time. Personally I’m on one of the fork’s beta versions. I’m waiting for the f-droid release so I get updates.
