a different approach to what a launcher can be
found this launcher last week and I've been playing with it since.
It still works with "muscle memory" but instead of placement, it's the gesture (or direction) that triggers the action. With time it can become quicker and easier, i think, than lawnchair, eblan &c or search based launchers

i'd love to see a launcher like this on #sxmo #linuxmobile !
sadly my approach to compile kando.menu failed due to missing glibc on alpine 😬
edit:
installed on android, already love it 💚

But some people on Lemmy are friends. People personally interact with each others on Hexbear for example (but that's a bit different, they've had history since their subreddit)

in reply to rnercle • • •Absolutely unusable for me. All I see is a black screen when launching it and after nexting through the settings. After adding some apps at the final step and attempting to try it out, it's just a black screen and I don't see anything. I'm lucky that I still had the settings app open for switching the default launcher so I could revert changing from the default. Otherwise my phone would've been soft bricked. Maybe I could've uninstalled it using adb or something. But I'm away for the holidays for over a week.
I would stay away from this. That we a close call for me. This would've been really bad.

in reply to Victor • • •all you see is a black screen (in dark mode) until you touch the screen and slide your fingers towards a direction (that you configured for the app of your choice.)
the length of the slide gives you more options. For example I touch anywhere on the screen and push my finger towards 1 o'clock and i can open droidify. If i slide further, i can open fDroid itself.
you can also use it like another app, instead of making it your default launcher, to try it out. Close it like any other app and you're back on your habitual launcher.
