It looks like they plan to add it on F-droid sometime, not sure if it will reach gplay though. They originally said no to releasing anywhere but Github but F-Droid is on their roadmap now it seems after a rename and a new icon.

Looks like the Microsoft Store has a 1,500 character limit for the “what’s new” section so definitely not a character limit issue, makes it more strange.
I’d give https://wiby.me a try, its a nice break from all the same 5 sites listed for every search. It priorities small more classic webpages over SEO ones
I find it works best when used in something like searxng along with other engines though to mix them in, since it tends to quite heavily avoid listing those sites, they’re useful sometimes but not when they dominate the results.
They’re still active but it’s slowed down a little. Their activity is spread out across a lot of different repos so some look inactive, sort repositories by last updated at the bottom of the page here to see the current activity https://github.com/revoltchat.
edit: iirc they’re also in the process of doing a major UI rewrite, not sure if certain parts of that are public yet or how far along they are on it.
I prefer Infinity the most, but while I’m waiting for it to get more daily-use ready (I mean, it basically is for regular use, but am at least waiting for beta release), I’m using Liftoff and have been very happy with it.
I’ve had a little bit of luck with Revolt.chat and getting friends to try it, but it still has its own issues. It looks promising though
Discord for me, very difficult to get friends to use foss alternatives because, while I don’t like Discord, it just has a pretty good UI/UX (aside from some annoyances) that alternatives haven’t really matched yet imo. Doesn’t make them bad, but I can fully understand why friends would not want to switch to something like Matrix.
I’ve been looking around and sadly haven’t found any solutions for it myself, although in case you didn’t know you can actually self-host LanguageTool and keep everything on your own hardware, it even simplifies the process to connect to it if it’s self-hosted on the same device it’s used on. Seems like an okay-ish solution that I’ve been using for now, though it still locks you to only their free features, but it does work without internet access. Hopefully someone can come by with more alternatives to it as well.
Edit: Also LanguageTool is actually open source itself if you’re mainly worried about the source code thing.
If gesture typing is the same thing as glide/swipe (I don’t really know what the feature is called) then they have this one linked on their page https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/tree/master/app/src/main/jniLibs
It says they can’t bundle it with the app because they can’t find any open source ones, so the library linked isn’t FOSS I think and made by Google but it should still work if you don’t mind that.
