Do you have any issues with apps and layouts misbehaving because of the small screen? Being annoying to type on is a feature, but is it basically impossible?


Sometimes websites with big popups fuck with you, but then again we ought to be avoiding those websites anyway. I haven't noticed any issues with apps.

Typing is much easier than you would think. With swipe typing it's almost at par.


Cool. What about typing passwords, codes, numbers? I'd wager without social media those would be the most common things I'd type


I have one too, and I was suprised by how "not bad" it is for this. I can reach each key with my thumb, so I get muscle memory for each letter. The only issue I have is hitting W instead of E, as E is super common and it's far from the lower right corner.

I also use bitwarden for passwords, so the main thing I type without swype is the passphrase for bitwarden, and proper names that autocorrect will then proceed to change to the wrong thing afterwards anyways (just like a big android phone).


I save everything in Google, which helps me autofill passwords, credit cards, addresses, emails, etc.. ducks


Lastpass mostly prevents needing to manually enter login info, even though the automatic activation only works 70% of the time.


I have one too. The main issue I have is some dialogs will need scrolling to see all options (FairEmail is the worst offender of the apps I use).
