If gesture typing is the same thing as glide/swipe (I don’t really know what the feature is called) then they have this one linked on their page https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/tree/master/app/src/main/jniLibs

It says they can’t bundle it with the app because they can’t find any open source ones, so the library linked isn’t FOSS I think and made by Google but it should still work if you don’t mind that.

It looks like they plan to add it on F-droid sometime, not sure if it will reach gplay though. They originally said no to releasing anywhere but Github but F-Droid is on their roadmap now it seems after a rename and a new icon.

Looks like the Microsoft Store has a 1,500 character limit for the “what’s new” section so definitely not a character limit issue, makes it more strange.

I’d give https://wiby.me a try, its a nice break from all the same 5 sites listed for every search. It priorities small more classic webpages over SEO ones

I find it works best when used in something like searxng along with other engines though to mix them in, since it tends to quite heavily avoid listing those sites, they’re useful sometimes but not when they dominate the results.

They’re still active but it’s slowed down a little. Their activity is spread out across a lot of different repos so some look inactive, sort repositories by last updated at the bottom of the page here to see the current activity https://github.com/revoltchat.

edit: iirc they’re also in the process of doing a major UI rewrite, not sure if certain parts of that are public yet or how far along they are on it.

I’m focusing on it because the open source license is what allows this to happen in the first place, if the developer didn’t intend to allow this to happen, they likely wouldn’t have made it open source. I think it’s a big part of the discussion. It didn’t happen with Sync or Boost because of the closed source license, which intends to not allow derivative works, while open source does.

I don’t think this is shady behavior, because the dev is responding to this responsibly. I also haven’t seen anyone thinking that it is the original developer though it may happen, but the original developer is credited in multiple places, and anywhere that you can download the app explains that it’s a fork of Lemmy for Reddit. I’m not sure what more the developer can do, but this is a pretty common thing that usually goes down just fine, and if it’s not fine the developer of Infinity for Reddit would reach out.

I personally think that credit was given where it was due.

Edit: Reworded for clarity

Sync for Reddit is not open source

Boost for Reddit is not open source

Infinity for Reddit is open source

The Reddit developer allowed to it to be used in this way by making it open source, the point of which being to be modified and forked by other developers. The Infinity for Lemmy developer is already changing the name with the intent of making it known that it’s a separate project. Infinity for Lemmy is only a temporary name.

I don’t see an issue when the creator of Infinity for Reddit specifically licensed the app in a way that this was allowed to happen, especially when credit was properly given. The first time that I saw someone mention the naming thing, the Lemmy developer made plans to change the name in the replies, as far as I can see, there was no malicious intent and they just wanted to do something nice for the community and put proper credit to the original developer.

I like this a lot
