Man there are about 50 Android launchers on F-Droid: https://search.f-droid.org/?q=launcher Feels like picking a distro when going to Linux. Notable changes compared to it's base Finn's Launcher: https://github.com/jrpie/launcher/blob/0.1.0/docs/launcher.m... (link is broken in readme on master branch) Compatible with work profile, so apps like Shelter can be used. Compatible with private space ... The name of this one is a bit too clever: On GitHub in the URL it's just launcher, on HN uLauncher, actually on the website and stores it's µLauncher. I don't even know how to type and pronounce this 'micro' character - or is it 'mu'? https://old.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/comments/wy53dr For accessibility and shareability to people without an academic background an easier name would be better.
