Whenever I explain my #research at Google into mobile text editing, I'm usually met with blank stares or a slightly hostile "Everyone can edit text on their phones, right? What's the problem?"
Text editing on mobile isn't ok. It's actually much worse than you think, an invisible problem no one appreciates. I wrote this post so you can understand why it's so important.

@jeremy_data I'd love for there to be an open source mobile phone OS that we could try this on. I know, Android is technically that but it's impossible to make changes to it at this point
@scottjenson @jeremy_data there is pine. And kde and gnome are moving in that direction as well.
@elgosz @jeremy_data That's interesting! Do you know anyone at Pine I could talk to? Or do I just show up on their repo as start filing issues? ;-)
@scottjenson @jeremy_data I do not know any developer in there 😢 so repo or contact form or social media should be the way to go (cries while editing this text before sending it) please keep pushing for things like this
#pinePhone @PINE64 #linux #ux #accessibility

@elgosz @scottjenson @jeremy_data Pine64 has no software developers. Purism does, and then there are contributors from various communities.
These are the keyboards commonly used on mobile phones:
