kboard started off a a simple idea - a keyboard that just lets you send "K." as a response. It has since grown (kind of accidentally) to be a powerful, customisable productivity tool that can be used alongside your regular keyboard.
Each key is customisable, and can be either text or a set of commands to execute. It can now even get some data from the internet and send it as a message - all in one tap of a key! In fact, I've been creating my own HTTP endpoints on Glitch - meaning that I can add functionality to the keyboard without doing any app release.
Examples of uses are:
* storing repetitive messages (e.g. happy birthday)
* easy access to things like emoji or ಠ_ಠ
* retrieve and send an answer from Wolfram Alpha
* convert a song title to a Youtube video
* convert search terms into site-specific searches.
More examples of use (and a list of available commands) on the wiki - https://github.com/adgad/kboard/...
I would love to hear about any other ideas people have that I haven't thought of!
