A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

their front page explicitly says "Currently in beta state" and according to their docs installation via Google Play requires joining a beta tester group.
that means a random user searching "keyboard" on the Play store isn't going to see it. likewise if a friend told you "I use Florisboard" and you searched for it by name in the Play store. if you're not already in the beta test group the direct link to the app page literally 404s.
it's certainly available to power users who already know they want it, but it's sort of pointless to ask why it's not popular at this stage of its development.
WEEEEELLLL that's what Fdroid is for and my friends with android all already have fdroid because "youtube downloaders be there" is all I had to say.
They just like the google key~~logger~~board.
FYI, direct link fails for me
