w__w··on Show HN: An imitation of the iOS8 system keyboard, built in Swift
Cool stuff!

Apologies in advance for mentioning my own work, what you've done is hugely useful to the world beyond just your Russian transliteration. Just want to mention that the Minuum [YC W14] keyboard has a disambiguating transliteration keyboard available amongst its Russian layout settings, curious to know what you think (though be forewarned that our Russian language model being in need of some additional vocabulary). I'm not aware of other keyboards that combine transliteration with autocorrect the way that Minuum does.

Nice! I never quite finished my identical project 3 years back: see https://github.com/anthonydanza/whatsuphedgehog
w__w··on Taps and Swipes: Intuition vs. Machine Learning in UX Design
Some users would choose to make long conclusive swipes, rather than short flicks. The swipes with very long displacements are only achieved by people taking the time to make a slow calculated gestures. Also key to note here is that we're tracking the final velocity of the strokes, rather than the overall velocity.
