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?

So, anybody know a good launcher to use once Nova goes offline?

    I’ve been using Nova for ages, probably back from the KitKat days on a Samsung phone running Touchwiz, i.e. when everything from the vendor side was crap.

    I just switched back to my Moto G5’s stock launcher. Honestly, it already does everything I did with Nova. It supports theming, adaptive icons, you can configure the density of its grid, etc. So I uninstalled Nova. Fuck it.

    Realistically I think most stock launchers are probably perfectly adequate for everything normal users want to do these days.

      I had the same experience when I recently had to get a new phone. Stock launchers have improved a lot.
