#TIL about #WMKeyboard;

"A privacy-first Android keyboard for 955 languages, with offline prediction, a full tool belt, themes, addons and Lua plugins."

I'm not convinced it's not built with generative models, considering F-Droid still don't and apparently won't have a policy on this;

https://forum.f-droid.org/t/does-f-droid-have-a-formal-policy-on-libre-ai/33279/87

So open to suggestions for well-maintained, slop-free soft keyboards for Android/Linux (no, I *don't* mean GNU/Linux when I say this).

Does F-Droid have a formal policy on libre “AI”’?

This discussion has been going on for over a year. Copious evidence has been produced for the software freedom risks of using generative models, in a range of ways. I’m now noticing the main F-Droid repo starting to fill up with low-effort, vibe-coded slop. Since slop is much quicker and easier to generate than quality software, the latter will soon be lost in the flood. Installs will reduce, and human developers will be discouraged from continuing their work. So what it comes down to is, whic...

What is it I'm seeing there?

@strypey hmm, looks like the documentation moved since I posted that.
Now here: https://github.com/wasi-master/wmkeyboard/tree/main#how-this-was-made

"For most features, I write the code myself, occasionally using AI-assisted code completion within my editor. For more complex features, I use Claude Code with Anthropic’s frontier models to assist with planning and, where appropriate, generate boilerplate code. For particularly repetitive or time-consuming tasks, I may delegate the implementation to Claude Code in its entirety."
