Seems cool. Sponsors some really interesting projects.

When I started to use Android without Google a few months ago, I reached for FUTO keyboard. I love it (supports swiping), and the voice input is great, probably 98+% accurate. I'm using it to type this out right now!

Lots of interesting and potentially useful things.

Their Harbor project seems relevant to Signal's identity verification challenges? I wonder if they've discussed it and what those discussions led to.
