Best FOSS alternative to Nova Launcher? - eviltoast

Would really love a launcher that can format icon shapes so that they’re all uniform in shape, like Nova Launcher …but open source.

    Looks like the stable channel hasn’t received an update in years, and the alpha channel hasn’t received an update in over a year. Is this launcher abandoned?

      Someone commented previously that the main devs are busy with other things and are hoping to return to it some other time

      I mean, does it matter? Some code needs to be maintained, some really doesn’t. A launcher, once it’s built it keeps working. I’m still using lawnchair 1, won’t update to 2 because it’s missing features I need. Been using it since before 2 was released, at some point things are just done and that’s a good thing.

          Depends on the project, something like the linux kernel? all the damn time, something like a launcher tho is already in googles aggressively sandboxes environment, so can’t fuck up too much even if it tried
