Oh nice, I thought it had been abandoned given the lack of updates and the fact that most of the FOSS launchers were based on it IIRC

Thought so too I can also swear they had some trouble with Google and pixel launcher something about their code. Great to see them still trucking
And the original dev being in a metric ton of shit
Ngl, that bio reads like a rollercoaster ride
No way, she was one of the original devs!?
Lolll that is amazing. I'm going to use lawnchair even harder now.
Pretty happy to axe the dock and put the Firefox search widget right at the bottom. I don't understand why so many browsers, launchers, and apps only let you select from a few hardcoded search engines instead of just letting you add your own with a URL pattern.
Widget resizing actually works now, whereas it used to be weirdly dependent on your home screen grid size settings.
Only issue I've found so far is that increasing your home screen's row count completely removes all your icons. That's a big bummer. It was always pretty flaky with arrangement shifting but this is a new one on me.
Am I missing it, or is there no way to organize the Drawer, either by folder or tab?
No, you're right. There's no organisation options. It's pretty barebones overall, and doesn't look great on large foldables either. Guess there's no reason to switch from my current launcher.
Nova, reluctantly, lives on.
What launcher are you currently using?
Still some more features to backport from the previous version...
Very buggy on my Pixel 7 Pro. Sticking with the older version for now
I got excited about GestureNavContract. It still chokes in predictive back animations. Sadly it still seems like only the default launcher can handle them 😕
Is the gesture support implemented?
It has swipe up/down + double tap gestures. You can also customise the home and back buttons.
