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

Been using KISS over at F-droid for a few years now after moving on from Nova Launcher. It isn't for everyone but it isn't run by goons.

I used KISS for a while and found mlauncher, which is similar in concept, to work better for me. I had to force KISS to restart frequently enough where it became a problem.

Cool, with FOSS I'll give this a try and if I like it enough, I'll stick with it and toss a few bines towards the devs. Thanks!

Tried it but it has a few things I don't like, minor things but the most important is the apps drawer as list

Fair, it has a drawer that's a list but i realize it is slightly different than expectation.

I'm not used to it, if I need something in the middle/end, I have to scroll to the bottom. I know it has letters but I'm not used to it so I keep forgetting

Yeah takes a little bit to get used to.
