“I can’t help but think this feels a lot like the silent abandonment that comes with a company being acquired.”

That was the statement I left you with last week when we talked about the sudden silence of Fleksy as rumors swirled of them abandoning the app. From their dead support site to the lack of updates and general quietness on previously active social media accounts, it made sense that Fleksy was about to be (or had been) acquired by someone. Today, Fleksy announced that they have indeed been acquired and the company who has done so is Pinterest.

To be clear, though, Fleksy’s technology is not exactly being acquired, but rather the man (and some of the team) behind Fleksy. According to a press release announcing the acquisition, Pinterest says that they are bringing Fleksy CEO Kosta Eleftheriou over to join the product engineering team and that the keyboard app and technology isn’t coming with.

So what does that mean for Fleksy? The keyboard will still live on through iOS and Android, but updates going forward will be minimal and limited. The app will soon be open-sourced so that the community or developers can do more with it, though.

What does Pinterest want with Fleksy’s staff? About half of Fleksy’s staff is coming to Pinterest to work on “a variety of mobile focused projects such as growth, core consumer features, and platform. infrastructure.”

So, yeah, Fleksy has essentially been acquired, just like we suggested last week.
