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

    Feels somewhat close to the Pixel launcher, with icon packs support, with a couple of extra features and doesn’t belong to a company that is trying to monetize it to hell.

      Dumb question, I’ve been using Nova launcher since forever but I think there was some drama recently about it being acquired. Is that the major difference between it and lawn chair?

        One of them. The other is that this is open source which has certain implications that don’t exist exist for Nova.

        Nova is more flexible, but honestly I find that Lawnchair strikes a good balance between simplicity and customizability.
