Today one of the kids asked me about a good keyboard alternative for iOS because they want to have custom graphics. And they also complain about the thing overheating all the time.

And that opened a window to have the conversation about open source vs big tech, privacy, data mining, proper ram usage, …the whole thing.

Haven’t particularly dived into this topic so I’m looking for a good opensource keyboard that has some graphical options and isn’t hogging all the memory or sending all the keystrokes to weird and evil people. Any suggestions?

Instead of using a custom keyboard you can just add keyboards like GIF Keyboard, but never actually open them. Instead you click the plus button and choose GIF Keyboard when you want to add a GIF, no need to use a custom keyboard.

This probably works with a lot of things
