Lawnchair - Apps on Google Play

The customizable Pixel Launcher — no clever tagline needed.

I’ve been using the releases from github for a while, but this is a great step towards availability for many.

    We really need to think about a better name than “Early access”. At this point I think I’ve used Lawnchair for about 5 years, 5 years after the initial event is only “early” in the context of geological eras.

        Well it might have been 3 years or might have been 7, I don’t remember exactly. 5 was my best guess!

      I thought so! When I saw this my first thought was “wait, isn’t that the one I used to use several years ago?”

      Yeah, it is. Ended up not being compatible on a new phone is why I switched, I think…forgot about it after.

      To me this is a feels like a full blown release as I’ve been using the beta, alpha, the builds on a fork of one of the maintainers github fork, … All of them with very few issues.

        The first version (or I guess second? It’s called V2) has been available on google play for many years as mentioned by @Jrockwar@feddit.uk but isn’t updated anymore. I have a Pixel 3a so still use it but this new one is not the first release or anything.

          Oh, there’s a Lawnchair legacy! It makes more sense now, but they could have changed the icon of this one to make it less confusing.
