[Android] How is Florisboard not popular? (infosec.pub)

In my search for good keyboard that support AMOLED mode, I found out about FlorisBoard which looks perfect to me. It even supports Halmak Keyboard Layout, which I didn't expect to find at any Android Keyboard.

Which make me ask, How is this keyboard not popular?

Heliboard is fantastic ❤️

  • glide typing.
  • multiple languages at the same time (without switching).
  • extremely customizable in nearly every way.
  • customize long-press options for each key with multiple / list of options. For instance, I've extended the number keys row with my most-used emojis, so holding '1' gives me a pop-up with '❤️😍😘🥰', 2 gives '🙂😊😃😄', etc.
  • 'snippets' via custom dictionary with shortcuts (typing 'xx' shows my primary email for 1-click insertion, 'yy' shows secondary email; endless possibilities). Possible with most keyboards, though.
  • and so much more.

I haven't found anything that comes even close.
