it baffles me that no one has come up with a better way of inputting text on phones yet, you can literally just write new code to do it!!! but no everyone’s just making yet another basically identical keyboard or they make neat concepts like thumbkey that don’t actually make any ergonomical sense at all…

hell i feel like you could get pretty close to ideal with just a custom keyboard layout that applies the concept of colemak to two thumbs rather than 10 fingers: put the commonly used letters where the thumbs naturally rest and put least used characters where it’s awkward to reach, and secondarily place letters such that you’re alternating as much as possible.
