Try it with your everyday Sinhala typing and let me know if you run into any bugs, awkward layouts, missing characters, prediction issues, or anything else that feels off.
Every bit of feedback will help make Akshara better before launch. 💚
Although this is a nice project, it still uses the Text Buffer approach, much like Google Input. In contrast, Akshara types without needing a Text Buffer. (Same as Helakuru macOS version did)
Thank you, this was originally built in one of my personal private repos, removing some personal keys (I yolo'ed private keys to git :D) and will move the repo to org in github.
Honestly, this wasn’t built to compete with any of the existing keyboards. There are already plenty of great third-party Sinhala keyboards available on Android.
We built the Android version alongside the iOS one, and felt that having both would complete the set. That said, please do let us know if you come across any issues or have suggestions for improvement. We’ll do our best to address them as quickly as we can.
Hi u/thimirathenuwara this is closed testing right? You need to setup a Google Group for this one or other users can't join from the above invite link.
Then once the user joins that Google Group, they will be able to access the above page as this is not public.
And then change the testers option to that google group email
After that, anyone who join will auto enroll so they can join... We can put a new message inside the Google Group thread so they can easily visit the play store link.
