When I go to enable it I get 'may be able to collect all the data you type, including ... passwords'. 'may be able to'? How is this not knowable? Do I have to wait for effect systems to gain popularity before installations make sense?

I find there's a lot more intention behind your actions and I make far less typos when I'm flicking in Japanese vs typing on a touchscreen QWERTY. Being a second language, typos are even more common because its not at recognizable at a glance you made them, so the flicking been a huge improvement.
I always wonder if English should have something like this. I guess "MessageEase" is the most similar thing...
Well, it’s interesting, but who is heavily working with text, which requires a lot of typing, and only has a smartphone? Phones are mostly for consuming. For creating, it’s usually easier and more comfortable to use a device with a keyboard (PC or laptop)
1) Like 80% of the world is smartphone-only 2) In my (wealthy, Boston area) suburb most high school students do all their work - including writing multi-page papers - entirely on their phone. They think laptops are for old people.
This is gonna be like Dvorak where eventually we all figure out that it’s not significantly faster and you had to re-learn how to type just to figure that out. I submit the idea that for most smartphone users, distance traveled and layout are not the limiting factor for typing speed.

Generally nowadays people don't learn Dvorak because it's faster, they learn it because it reduces finger travel and effort. Those factors apply here too.
Rather than experiencing that in exchange for a tiny amount of saved effort, stick with QWERTY and press TAB/etc to skip most of the typing.

The delta between thinking about it and doing it is why there’s so many solid one-and-done apps that don’t exist. I strongly encourage people to do it, especially if they’re not going to try to cash in.

People reading HN on the subway, who have some insightful comment to add, but are slowed down by unergonomic input methods?
for example, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” — means right hand. you can see in a common phrase like this, you alternate sides more often. when you’re thumb-tapping, i think this is useful.

I can touch-type with flow typing in GBoard at this point. That's to say, I'm writing this comment on my Android phone without looking at the keyboard. QWERTY is in my muscle memory in such a way that words have become writable as single stroke characters. I really, really doubt this Keybee thing can be an improvement over that in any way.
People riding horse buggies probably thought the same when powered vehicles first came about, and look at the world now. You won't know unless you give it a honest try.
