I switched to an open source keyboard for more than an year now, rocking the trusty old ‘Openboard valencia’. I don’t want bigger corporations to peek on what I write (Here is a short post on that).

It was pretty good but lacked a lot of features that modern keyboards provide. In a new hunt for a better alternative, I stumbled upon this fork of Openboard that is still being updated. Besides that, I was also searching for the gesture typing mechanism. This version lets you side load that feature too.

Overall if you also a privacy junkie like me, you should give this a try.
