Michael,
Fleksy was acquired by Pinterest as announced in a June 15, 2016 press release found at this link: http://fleksy.com/fleksy-acquired-by-pinterest/ I'll paste the text of that press release following my signature. >From other reading I did via Google, I gathered that Pinterest acquired the >staff of Fleksy for use in its business and not to further develop the Fleksy >keyboard app. They plan to make the app open-source. Alan Lemly Hi Fleksy Friends, Today we’re announcing some big news at Fleksy. Our team is joining Pinterest! As some of you may know, it’s a bit of nostalgic timing as this month marks four years since Fleksy first launched in the iOS store as a standalone app for our wonderful community of blind users – at a time when 3rd party keyboards were not yet supported on the platform. Over the years it has been our great pleasure to bring you the fastest and most reliable typing experience. Building a keyboard, especially a good keyboard, is not an easy task. In fact, it’s really hard. Without all of your support and feedback it wouldn’t have been possible. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you. Fleksy will remain available in the app stores for the foreseeable future, so no need to worry about being forced to re-learn to type on a alternative keyboard ?? As a tribute to our incredible community of users we have made the decision to open-source some of the Fleksy components that the blind and visually impaired community grew to love. We trust you’ll do great things with it. We’ll update you here and send out a tweet when the open-sourced project is ready for your contributions. Meanwhile, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to [email protected]. Wishing you all the best, Ashley & Kosta From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Maslo Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2016 9:09 PM To: viphone@googlegroups. com Subject: Fleksy Hi list, I was wondering if anyone knew if Fleksy is still being developed or if it is still around. I e-mailed them and got no response.
