Alternatives to gboard with gesture/swype style typing? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking to replace gboard and I have spent about a decade using gesture based typing. Is there any alternative that is private that gesture based typing actually work on?

Try this page. You have to go in to the folder that corresponds to your device, the above link takes you to the Arm chipset code which should be good for a mobile android device. You should see the raw button in the right hand corner, and the download button should be near it as well. If you're on mobile, tap the three dots and the download button should show up in the menu.

I tried two browsers and couldn't find the tiny download button. Finally, I figured it out. Follow the link from the Heliboard page, I'm using a Pixel so I opened arm64-v8a, tap the file and "view raw" should be visible. Tapping this should bring up a download window. Go into Heliboard > settings > advanced > load gesture typing library.

paradox2011 actually linked right to it. I'm using same phone as you. Thank you all the same. Im liking it OK so far but the swiping isn't as good as gboard but I'm sure it will learn.
