What does Tubular do for you that the stock New Pipe doesn't? I'm also curious about neighbours, as I'm still using gBoard and I'd rather switch to something else that still supports swipe-typing.

Tubular has sponsor block too.

Do you mean Heliboard? It supports gesture typing, but you need to import the library you want.

It would gBoard's autocorrect got one final dig in. I did indeed mean Heliboard, and I've now installed it with the glide extension and... it's great! Thanks for the reference!

Thanks. That Heliboard comment sent me down a rabbit hole. I don't really use glide typing, but in case any one's curious: scroll a bit down under this section on Heliboard's Github and you'll find the instructions on how to install the proprietary library. You'll also find a link shortly thereafter that leads you to the repo where you can download the needed library.

Neat little feature I wasn't aware was available for Heliboard. Cheers.

Try futo keyboard. You don't even have to download a proprietary blob to enable gesture typing.
