End of an era: Nova Launcher's parent company lays off practically everyone - Lemmy.World

Branch Metrics sucks. They fired almost of all people working for Nova.

I just reset my phone (because reasons) and while I was happy to use Nova for so many years, I decided to switch - trying ADW Launcher now.

Looks like it was a smart move.

Isn’t ADW already dead for years? Last update on f-droid was 13 years ago.

😲 13 years?? I had no idea! Wild. Okay maybe I need to find a modern alternative - but haven’t found anything yet that’s so nice as Nova was.

The play store Version is only 6 years old. Still not great.

You could try lawnchair 14 which is currently in beta on github. The version you can load in the play store is very old.
