Anyone else think the play store has had such a constant decline to the point where you can barely find an app without being flooded with ads. I pretty much only use f droid at this point because the quality of apps is just higher
Well, I’m used to be able to search for an app wish a home on home press. The faster the better (some launchers are too slow on this, and that’s why I don’t use them). My main is Nova. The current speed setting is great.
The second thing is the Widget grouping per app.
On experience, I find this launcher too slow for my taste.
On the settings side, I find that having too many settings at the same time is kinda cumbersome.
Things that I like, to be able too see what setting does what easily, icon resizing, padding and dock concept.
I’d pay for this in the future. Like from 2 to 3 USD.
The settings starter wizard is great for users that are not very familiar with customisation, so I think you have a lot of potential there for something new. I think you saw it as well. Most launchers are either very complex to set up (for someone that is not very familiar with android customisation) or too simple (like Niagara Launcher) but I think most users want some that is inviting for migrating from another custom launcher and from any stock one. Some launchers fix this by a migration wizard, but if you are going to copy something over, why migrate? I really like how your approach is going and I can’t wait to see where you land.
Regarding speed, I like your approach for speed , I think that’s something to consider on the wizard and I think that that’s the first setting I changed. I will send you my current nova set up and my Octopi one.
Thank you for your work, anyone can see that you are trying to do something different and put a lot of thought and effort into it.
Edit 1: is there anyway change the way how icons are shown on folders?

For example, a very important patent for any inkjet is the one where heads self clean, basically maintenance. Without that, an inkjet printer would be a pain to have.
