End of an era: Nova Launcher's parent company lays off practically everyone
End of an era: Nova Launcher's parent company lays off practically everyone
Layoffs have reduced the Nova Launcher from twelve members to just a single one man team. What does this mean for the launcher's future?
So, anybody know a good launcher to use once Nova goes offline?

My recommendation is Niagara Launcher. It's more minimal than other launchers. I like the reduction in clutter.
That apps list reminds me of Windows Phone for some reason. Oh, and the mobile version of KDE Plasma too.
Wp had such a dope launcher... i miss it
Same.
Check out Square launcher. Took the WP design and extended it. Gloriously customizable.
I never had a WP, but I do have a few Zunes. The Live Tile main screen for WP is a bit too busy for me, but I would love to have the slightly cut-off styles in settings and menus that it and the Zune models had. Just really vibed with the look for some reason.
Windows phones were really solid, OS was very user friendly and stable. I personally didn’t feel the “app gap” that a lot of others complained about but, I use my phone for browsing, calls & text. If I recall correctly it was also ahead of the curve with PWAs, integrated them really well. And price/performance was good on some models like the Lumia 650.
I've been using Niagra for a few months now and love it 👍
Looks nice, whats your icon pack?
I'm using icons from the Anycon pack. It's the Niagara Launcher's "collection of icon packs specifically developed for Niagara Launcher".
