What open source keyboard alternative you suggest instead of gBoard on Android?

I'm trying to build my own degoogled ROM for me, so what are you suggesting? For now I'm on OpenBoard.

Definitely Florisboard as it has the most features and best theming support but I was using AnySoftKeyboard in the past and it's okay too.

It hasn't been updated in like a year and there is no spell correction. Am I missing something or is this just an acceptable tradeoff for you?

The next release of FlorisBoard should come soon (hopefully) after the main dev finishes the NLP core implementation. Even if not, I still don't mind using it.

Spell correction works but isn't implemented that well. You need to change the default Android spell checker and then find some raw dictionary of words. But it works in the end.

Definitely FlorisBoard. I've also tried AnySoftKeyboard and some others in the past, and I think FlorisBoard is the best.

I second FlorisBoard due to gesture typing even though it's got room for improvement. Couldn't get gesture to work reliably with AnySoft.

Now if Florisboard had kaomoji and gifs like Gboard, it'd be perfect (╥﹏╥ )

There's a gesture tying (swipe) fork of open board as well which is simply brilliant: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard. The problem with FlorisBoard for now is the lack of autocorrect.
