So I guess I'm pretty much the perfect audience here.
Every time I code I get mildly enraged by having typed é or ö instead of a semicolon.
Will definitely give this a go.
I really like the (lack of a) business model, too, I hope some people will appreciate your efforts. This was probably my favourite bit. All these small apps that somehow need to figure out an extra feature just so that they can upsell. I get it, but it's still annoying.
This ones gives off the goold old vibes of "I scratched my own itch and I'm sharing".
Appreciate it!
I acquired a keyboard for a language I’m learning and was disappointed that I couldn’t physically switch my hands between keyboards to use the other’s layout. I thought the computer would be smarter, mais non.
So you'd have a button for each keyboard layout, and you'd just have to form the habit of smashing the key for e.g. Russian before typing a message in Russian.
For a more complicated solution, I suppose it'd be possible to detect which USB device sent a signal, and use this to detect which keyboard you're using. Maybe there'd need to be a workaround, like hitting Caps Lock on and off so the app has time to react and change the OS keyboard layout, before you type.
So many times do I want live subtitles in multiple languages, at least two, simultaneously. Or vision capabilities to view something without translating a whole block of a UI or a webpage so I can read through missing intermediate to advanced vocabulary or typically native turns of phrase.
Language support basically everywhere feels like it's implemented by Americans who can't speak anything else besides English, and look at products as things that only monolingual users use.
Single-layout physical keyboards, etc.
