Yes, Swiftkey became total garbage so I went for something completely different with https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key and like it so far. Takes some time getting used to but it's a neat way for input.

Interesting... I just installed this, will update later. I just switched back to using qwerty on my phone so l coud type on other peoples phones but I definitely see the appeal of using this

I went for something even more completely different. I use pentikeyboard. It's a chorded keyboard where you use all five fingers. Takes quite a while to get used to as well.

You can't really use it one-handed, but for some reason it just feels so satisfying to use for me
