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?

    I’ve been working on a launcher for a while now, do help me test it out!

    Features include:

    • Widget stacks (with auto scroll)
    • Swipe up and swipe down to launch different apps
    • Display app drawer icons as tiles or a list
    • Individually resize home screen icons, for mixed-size icon layouts
    • Freely position and resize a widget or icon
    • Frosted glass background for widgets (experimental)
    • App drawer folders
    • Fade a widget
    • Separate layouts for different screens for foldables
    • Tap a folder to launch its first app (swipe to open folder)
    • Assign a nickname to an app for instant app search and launch (e.g. searching “ff” launches Firefox instantly)
    • Lots of custom animations and haptics

    Planned features include:

    • Profile switching with Tasker support
    • Square tiles for app drawer
    • Swipe to open a widget pop up

      Can you group the app drawer by letter so that I can immediately jump to ‘S’ to launch Sync for Lemmy? It’s pretty much the entire reason I can’t move away from Microsoft Launcher. I feel this is an essential feature, and I’ve tried basically every launcher I can find.
