An excerpt from their writeup:

There are a whole lot of different keyboard solutions on Android, and let's be honest: a lot of the offerings aren't great. While many of them have strengths, I initially struggled in my de-googling of my life to find a keyboard that had everything I wanted with regards to layout, swipe typing, and voice input. What follows is the best method I've been able to come up with (credit to the cowboy-hatted individual who clued in me into FUTO voice).

My big gripe with heliboard is that I can't change key size. (Unless you can and I missed it please tell me) Going from Gboard to heliboard I struggle to get the right words with swipe due to the size difference and it's frustrating.

I have to use gboard on my work phone so there's no just getting used to it unfortunately.

Edit to add changing keyboard height has helped quite a bit. I'm still a little off but this is much more usable.

    U can totally customise it but I need to go in deep and mess with the layout json. I did it so I have a tab key on my main keyboard mainly for quick auto complete in terminals.

    I had the same issue, I set it to 110% on my phone. It would be cool if someone put together a guide on common configurations to help it match other apps.
