While I was on the hunt for a keyboard with swipe functionality on #fdroid, I stumbled upon a #8pen keyboard. After an initial video on the concept of how it works, I quickly got the hang of it.
One thing I can agree with the developers is that it is a much quicker method of learning how to type without looking.
Currently the only initial downside is that one is constantly pressing the screen thereby creating soreness. Additionally, it is not ideal for typing texts with numbers or non-typical special characters like one would find by passwords.

After using #8pen for about two days, I came across some conclusions:
The theory claims once you are familiar with the layout, you won’t need the keys anymore. Once this state happens, one technically could keep one’s phone in one’s pocket and swipe away the next new novel or short story.
I am just imagining, you are swiping away in your pocket and onlookers think you are masturbating in public…
