I just wanted to offer that I love this keyboard, it's one of the first things I reinstall on a new phone. I regret there isn't any sane system of knowing which swipe corner contains which character but for the "trust me, I'm a professional" use cases - when I need it then it's there for me
As a side advantage: I trust it to not log keys more than Gboard in incognito mode

I don't use Android a lot, but finding a keyboard puts me off the most every time. Obviously I don't want Google to earn more money by me typing.
Unexpected keyboard is one of my favorites. But suggesting word completions would be nice. I see no reason why this could not be done with free software and locally.

For sure it can[1] but Julow's perspective is that it's a lot of work so if it's important to someone the contribution would need to come from the community: https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/issues/343
Interestingly while searching for that issue I learned that FUTO claims to have both a machine learning based autocomplete[2] and a swipe input so I'll definitely have to try that out. I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to teach FUTO about the corner keys than to try and integrate predictions and swiping into Unexpected
