This popped up today on my phone when casually tapped on a text field. As a long ass time MessagEase user this makes me sad. Even though it has its issues, it’s also been pretty much unbeatable when you need to type text on Android without looking using only one thumb. Looks like MessagEase Pro subscription fee is 1,09€/month. Not that much but no thanks. Enshittification spreads. As a FLOSS enthusiast I’ve always dreaded this sort of thing when using “free” proprietary products.
Anyhow, do I have to go back to Gboard or are there any free/oss alternatives around to replace MessagEase with?
Yeah… It could’ve been one solution because in practice the app was pretty much unmaintained anyway.
