Does anyone know of a FOSS version of this (android keyboard with hexagonal keys?) (mashable.com)

Contacted typewise, asked if I could purchase apk from them (the pro version or whatever) since I don't use GPlay store and they said no.

Unless there is an open source app, the next stop will be the piracy sub. It may be able to work if you obtain an apk and patch it to think it's paid. While there, it would also be worth defusing data mining components.

Fully agree, patching it is pretty much the only next option available unless OP is fine going back to a regular keyboard

I never even knew you could get a keyboard with this kind of layout 😅

I'm trying it out and it feels oddly comfortable. Obviously muscle memory from the regular layout is getting in the way but I can feel that the devs are onto something.
