Show HN: Flying Letters and a Clean Keyboard That Even Steve Jobs Would Like

1•vitalipom•44m ago
Everyone talks about the negative impact of the screens, but have you been wondering recently around, imagining you’re typing something with some imaginary keyboard?

Keyboards differ, some have more memojies, some ultra-high-4k-super-dooper keyboards like Samsung’s app store’s Cafe Keyboard have even plenty of effects.

But there is one keyboard, very well hidden, called Effectedkeyboard2 which is not just neatly designed, but also has a feature non of the other keyboards has - flying letters, like in Harry Potter movies, that in addition to all other effects this keyboard offers, this particular effect flies letters as you type - with animation, into your screen!

If you happened to stop to try it out, check out some another amazing features that it has: such as more convenient typing caret mover. Long press spacebar till it turns blue and voila, you can drag your fingers through the regular keys to move typing caret even after the phone restarts! Very handy in long text editing. Or else undo/redo options. Have you deleted something useful? Just like in Anysoftkeyboard, which this keyboard is originally based on, swipe up from the spacebar and there you have undo/redo options and on a long press on the paste icon even a clipboard.

Unlike Anysoftkeyboard however, Effectedkeyboard2 refreshes its emojies with modern shiny emojies. It has additional visual effects as you type - which mostly cost a couple of dollars, but each is available for a preview under Effects menu in the main settings.

Effectedkeyboard2 has been crafted by its developer Vitali Pom. Over the course of 15 years and is now waiting for you to try it out.
