Sad to read, but not at all surprising. I remember how much damage control Kevin was doing back when the sale to Branch happened.

I hope he has learned something about trusting the word and contracts from entities like Branch from the whole thing.

I switched to action launcher years ago and it still works great. The ability to have a default app in a folder is so convenient, you tap to open the app you use most, or swipe to open the full folder. I’m not aware of another launcher which allows this.

I only have one screen for everything I need because of this feature, with the full app list available on the left and a widget panel with my calendar and weather on the right.

I never see it mentioned in these threads though, I guess because it’s not FOSS. I tried lawnchair and the gap in features is massive.

Action can do this? I’ll have to check it out, because that’s the feature from Nova I can’t live without. My whole home screen has been built around it for years.

Action can do this. I believe it was implemented on Action before Nova anyway but it’s years ago at this point… But yeah that’s the main feature I miss with all the other launchers.

I can’t quite remember how the in app purchase element of it works, I appear to have paid to be a supporter in 2022, I think around then maybe is when they changed payment models and annoyed people idk.

It’s too integral a part of my usage for me to worry about, as much as I love FOSS stuff. I’m totally happy with the small amount I’ve contributed. The app is still releasing updates.
