On Android; mpv, KeePassDX, FlorisBoard, AntennaPod, Read You, NewPipe, Jerboa, Unitto Calculator, CloudStream, Aegis, TrailSense, OpenKeychain, K-9 Mail, EDS lite, ViMusic, InnerTune, GrapheneOS Camera, Librera FD ...are my favourites.
To that I'd add Simple Gallery and some of the other "Simple" apps by the same dev, Tibor Kaputa.
Honestly, F-Droid should be your first stop on Android because the open source apps are usually better. Most apps on the play store are basically just adware at this point.
I've really fallen in love with the Aves gallery app. It's finally got me started with organising and tagging my photos.
I use most things here but I hated FlorisBoard so much. To each their own, but I’m sticking with Gboard.
Sorry for the unwarranted input but like you I tried FlorisBoard and it was awful and to me seems like a dead project. Since then I went with a fork of OpenBoard and it even has gesture typing similar to that of Gboard! If that's important to you of course
¿Does florisboard support multiple input languages at once? I might switch within a conversation or even mix words within a single sentence. So far I haven't found a good open source alternative to SwiftKey in that regard.
Do you mean different characters/local keyboards, or different dictionaries?
different dictionaries but merged into one.
many keyboards handle it like this: if you switch to English keyboard layout, you get English autocomplete, if you switch to chzech layout you get suggestions for chzech words, etc
what I want is to be able to pick any layout and get suggested words from English, Czech and whatever other languages I select.
Hmm, afaik florisboard doesn't support word suggestions at all right now. You can read up on it a bit on github but to make it short: the main dev is struggling with creating his own performant word suggestion algorithm.
Aww, too bad. I really rely on autocorrection suggestions a lot as it speeds up my typing.
