Duolingo was one of my resources for learning Japanese, I would mainly use it as a way to improve my Japanese typing skills, it also helped hammer certain words into my head by typing but now they’re forcing me to use select words individually via word bank instead of just being able to type my answers directly.
Are there any alternative apps or website that are keyboard focused?

As in you have to type the words, the wanikani website does that ( costs money after level 3-10 something ). You can also create anki decks that need typing input, besides the wanikani anki deck i dont know any other deck which does that though, but its possible to make your own cards.
Caveat that I don’t recommend Duolingo for Japanese at all but since you say it has helped you!
I’m surprised at this, I did the entirely of Ukrainian on Duolingo and was able to type in my Ukrainian Cyrillic keyboard. What stage are you at?
lingodeer is another language learning app like duo (but with more focus on learning than reaching a leaderboard or keeping a streak)…I used it a bit to learn Korean.and at least for the Korean track, there were at least 2 writing exercises per lesson

You could also try busuu. I used to use it for only a little bit when I started to learn Japanese, but it may suit your needs. They have a section (I think per chapter) where they ask you a question…usually something related to the chapter you just went through and you have to answer it in your target language…then you get corrected by real native speaker….I thought it was pretty cool, but back when I tried it I was too “green” to take advantage of that feature…..maybe you’d like it 🙂
[This](https://sethclydesdale.github.io/genki-study-resources/lessons-3rd/) is a really good website for typing answers, but you should use it with the genki textbook
I think it works if you use the web version, just not the app
