-Essentially, Nintype is a keyboard that enables you to type and swipe simultaneously using both thumbs.
-This might not seem too crazy at first, but trust me, it's impressive.
-It allows for swift typing that, despite its somewhat steep learning curve, is a pleasure to use.
-It's a piece of software that feels like magic, and that's hard to come by.

 ## Swipe and type
 
 Nintype's true magic lies in it's ability to understand swiping and tapping with both fingers simultaneously.
-If you need to double tap a word, like "I'll", you can swipe the first half of the word, and then double tap the "l" key to finish the word.

 It's a bit tricky to put into words, but it feels intuitive and unlocks a lot of speed. I can consistently reach 100 <abbr title="words per minute">WPM</abbr> with ~90-95% accuracy using Nintype.

 I expected it to keep up with my typing speed, but it's not meant to do that; it waits for your pauses and then adds spaces. If you're typing quickly, you don't really pause.
 Now, I leave it enabled and manually hit the space key when needed, especially when typing with one hand or taking my time, and I love it.
 
+## Actually good autocorrect
+
+The autocorrect is substantially better than the default on iOS. It learns words you use frequently and is much more reliable at leaving them alone.
+My personal gripe with the iOS keyboard is it's failure to learn "nyt" as a shortcut for "New York Times" &mdash; Nintype has no such issue.

+## Pins / shortcuts

+Pins are a way to save text snippets and insert them by long-pressing a key.
+I've saved my emails, phone number, and other frequently used text that iOS or Firefox mobile fail to save.

 ## It still works today
 
 In a testament to it's great design and engineering, Nintype is functionally the same as it was in 2014 (minus a few small updates) and continues to be the best keyboard I've ever used.
-I wonder why the iOS keyboard and others only support single-swipe typing; it's a shame and a missed opportunity.

 You can find Nintype on the App Store [here](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nintype/id796959534).
 If you use Android, I'm sorry &mdash; it seems like it was removed from the Play Store [sometime last year](https://www.reddit.com/r/nintype/comments/s4sx1b/looks_like_keyboard_69_nintype_has_been_removed/).
