I wanna make a very simple web app to replace a personal spreadsheet, and I don't want to spend a whole lot of time on it. So I'm leaning towards coding it in good ol' PHP: no API, no frontend logic. Party like it's 2006.

I finally found a FOSS Android keyboard I like: Heliboard.
I was stuck with GBoard because I could never find a FOSS keyboard that worked as well for me, especially for swipe typing. Heliboard feels a lot like GBoard.
Swipe typing is made available by loading a proprietary library that has "google" in its name, which is unfortunate, but still a better compromise than being stuck with GBoard.
Heliboard is available on F-Droid.
