I'm looking to replace gboard and I have spent about a decade using gesture based typing. Is there any alternative that is private that gesture based typing actually work on?

I miss the "swipe to punctuation" from Swype. Typically, "w-e-.-l-l" to prompt "we'll" instead of "well". The other thing is the long press option on the main keyboard only has one alternate character. The secondary keyboard has more. I like it, use it as my daily driver & I'd recommend it.
