Forgive me if this is yesterday’s news to some of you, but I just found this amazing replacement for the proprietary Japanese keyboard simeji: sumire

That’s all.

Also, if anybody here happens to already use it and know whether it’s possible to adjust this somewhat ugly disproportionate toolbar, please advise!

Not sure about the toolbar issue, but you can also use Fcitx5 (available on F-Droid). It doesn’t support the 12-key keyboard you’re using though.

I can’t believe my eyes, a japanese keyboard with a 12 key layout that doesn’t bombard you with online sync shit like Simeji or Google.

I will take a look at it ASAP, thank you for the recommendation.

EDIT: Why the first GitHub release is v1.7.93? Is this a fork of other project? It looks like history was erased at some point? I’m also checking the branch names and the project looks heavily vibe coded sadly (Copilot and Codex usage), so I’ll be cautious with this one.

Thanks for the headsup about the vibecoding. What a turnoff :(
