Seems cool. Sponsors some really interesting projects.

When I started to use Android without Google a few months ago, I reached for FUTO keyboard. I love it (supports swiping), and the voice input is great, probably 98+% accurate. I'm using it to type this out right now!

I've been trying to find a FOSS alternative to Gboard that allows you to seamlessly type (and swipe) in multiple languages without having to switch between them. I've tried FUTO keyboard before but it doesn't support that (yet?)

It does have multi language typing. It works pretty well with the languages combos that I've tried.

Lots of interesting and potentially useful things.

Their Harbor project seems relevant to Signal's identity verification challenges? I wonder if they've discussed it and what those discussions led to.
