Didn’t this get purchased by some conglomerate recently? I know there was a reason I held it back from updates.
Edit:
Ah yes, it’s in the article of course:
“If you haven’t heard from nova in a while, it could be because they were in the news over a year ago when analytics company Branch acquired the brand from its creators Kevin Barry and Cliff Wade.”
I stopped using it because of that for a while. I have not found another launcher that has the swipe up and down on home screen icons to open other apps, put 9 icons in the dock and a few other things I can’t remember right now…
I blocked all Internet access to nova to circumvent analytics. Not sure if it’s working but until I find a different launcher…
I’m currently using Kvaesitso. It’s different, but it’s worth a try There’s also discreet launcher
It’s doesn’t have anywhere near the same feature set or polish but I think neolauncher probably comes the closest to replacing nova as far as open source solutions go.
Oh I think I tried that at some point. I see your point, it is closest to nova rn
