Does anyone know of a FOSS version of this (android keyboard with hexagonal keys?) (mashable.com)

Contacted typewise, asked if I could purchase apk from them (the pro version or whatever) since I don't use GPlay store and they said no.

EDIT: I deny network permission to Typewise just to be on the safe side, but I'd like to be able to use some of the Pro features, and I'm willing to pay for them. But, no.

I've tried FOSS keyboards, but always return to Gboard, my particular needs are: Swype and bilingual suggestions (English and Spanish). There are alternatives for Swype style, but none works good with bilingual language.

As an alternative I use, Unexpected keyboard, very good and small, is like a better and updated hacker's keyboard (abandoned). Give this a try. Very useful specially with Termux or similar.

For me Gborad's best feature is the speech to text function, I find it to be very accurate. Since I've started using it, I barely type anything at all.
