This is a very solid alternative to Google's keyboard, the only issue is that it's not European.

Futo are apparently a somewhat shady company, so do your own research and if you don't like what you find check out Heliboard, Florisboard or Fossify Keyboard (all on Fdroid) to name a few.

Oh. It's that FUTO. I had the feeling the name rang a bell

This should be pinned somehow.

I read their explanation on being "source available" instead of open source, didn't sound unreasonable to me. But I'll do further research.. In the meantime one of my bank apps doesn't trust it either and refuses to open if that's the keyboard being used.
