The absolute finest app launcher on Android, bar none... is in trouble...

I'm using the last known good version from years ago, but even then, no

Nova Launcher's future uncertain as layoffs slash core dev team​

founder Kevin Barry remaining at Branch is a thread of hope the
customization community is hanging by.
