yeah, we have enough keyboards.
Not enough open source ones with swipe. Which is to say, almost none
with swipe? wut is dat?
Swipe to text. Like dragging your finger to write, rather than typing each letter
that's a weird feature, but ok.
It's literally super common. Google's GBoard has it, but the first app I know about it was the now discontinued Swype app. There was a big commercial for it in 2010 for the Samsung Galaxy S about setting the guinness world record for fastest text https://www.windowscentral.com/samsung-and-swype-helps-set-world-record
