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?

Branch Metrics sucks. They fired almost of all people working for Nova.

Aw man! I’ve used nova launcher for probably about a decade at this point :(

There’s no way in hell I’m going back to SMASNUG’s crusty launcher. What’s the next best thing that isn’t a beta test?
