I'm writing down a few impressions: - the layout is unusual, but I get the motivation. Distances are minimised and letters are arranged so that ambiguity is removed. - although I'm very slow, I haven't made a single mistake so far. Clearflow allows me to swipe much more accurately than stock gboard. - the square keyboard layout unfortunately means that half the letters are constantly hidden behind my thumb. As I'm unfamiliar with the layout, this means that before swiping a word, I have to look at the layout, memorise letter locations and plan the movement - since I write in multiple languages and Clearflow is available in only one of them, I would have to memorise a completely new layout for a language I write in only half the time.
For learning ClearFlow, I used the Games app available from the "Clearflow Games" section on their website: https://clearflowkeyboard.github.io/
I also have the issue of the thumb getting in the way so I spent a couple of days playing the games to get my layout memory up and then it became usable without frustration and I'm not looking back now although I occasionally still forget the odd letter location.
I'm happy with the switch. Like any keyboard switch (I've gone from Qwerty to Dvorak and now a Colemak-dh derivative with about ten years on each) it takes some time to learn the layout. Overall I'm happy with it though and there are less frustrating misinterpretations and corrections needed.
This post was swiped on it with only two corrections and the second one was my fault as i misremembered a key location.
