This is the definitive replacement for gboard, people. It works fantastically well already with everything that Gboard has and it will only get better from here on.

Does it have multiple layouts support (Latin, Cyrillic), swipe typing and clipboard history?

TLDR: Why do I stop using OpenBoard and use this instead :)?

If you’re satisfied with it, you don’t need to update. But Openboard lacks a lot of features many people want. The biggest of them is probably the glide typing, which Heliboard supports. And it also added a lot of quality of life improvements.

It’s really great to see a continuation of Openboard.

Looks nice but I wish the clipboard history could be based on number of items and not just time.

I’m sure that could be implemented.
