But Openboard lacks a lot of features many people want. The biggest of them is probably the glide typing, which Heliboard supports. And it also added a lot of quality of life improvements. permalink fedilink source parent [–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) Some new features, bug fixes, and ongoing support. It is a new application so you do have to set it up fresh - don't switch until you have a bit of spare time. Missed the back and restore button in settings. Personally I'm on one of the fork's beta versions. I'm waiting for the f-droid release so I get updates. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Dju@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Found it.
