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.

Bad news.

Still waiting for github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/releases to get out of beta

It’s pretty much already very usable. I have been on version 12 alpha for a long time and now on 14 beta 2, all in all since nearly a year.

Seems like it is missing a lot of the conveniences that I was once used to with Nova, though. No ability to reposition the search bar or keep it in place on other pages, no docked apps, no button to open the app drawer, the home screen grid has fixed padding and so on.

I’ve since switched to Niagara which has been okay, but I’ve never found anything else like Nova since.
