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 KISS for a couple years now very successfully and I love it.

    Should you decide to stick with it, here’s two tiny tips:

    • Should the custom icons ever actually give you trouble, most issues can be fixed by going to the KISS Launcher options → Advanced → Restart KISS. It will reload all items from scratch.
    • You can actually have a couple more ‘quick access’ apps set by going to KISS Launcher options → User experience → Gestures and defining ‘Launch…’ actions. For example, I launch my messaging app with a right swipe, my e-mails with a left swipe and note-taking with a long hold anywhere on the launcher.

      I’ve actually been using it for years but I’ve never messed with the launch gestures before. That’s a super useful feature.
