      Came here to say the same thing. I loaded the GitHub page and it has no description of the device itself or why I should be interested.

        I can infer what it is based on the info that’s already there, but still.

      Yes the development of OpenBoard has been at a standstill for some time, this fork has added various functionalities

    Could someone give a short summary of what HeliBoard is? All I see is a feature list

    New name, old icon. 😁 I’ll see how I get on with this keyboard. It’ll stop me relying on gifs from Gboard. 👍

    It’ll be weird saying Heliboard instead of Openboard now

    So I’ve installed, but the docs are seriously lacking - what’s the globe button do?

    Why do ui designers make buttons that are unclear and lack documentation?

    Edit: After a little adjustment to the settings, the autocorrect is nearly as good as Swiftkey. I’m liking it

        Ah, thanks.

        For some reason it wasn’t a globe at first, that I could tell.

    Thank you for sharing this! I have enjoyed thumbkey for a long while, but it’s lovely being back on qwerty to try this out :) at minimum it means I have a keyboard to offer when other people use my phone! :)
