For those of you who is not fortunate enough to get a hold of an FxOS phone, you can try out the keyboard on this page. http://timdream.org/gaia-keyboard-demo/ Tim On Thu, Aug 14, 2014 at 9:14 AM, Tim Chien <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > A few years ago when I was working on the keyboard app for the first > time, I made a webpage showing off the keyboard app to everyone > online.
