I just switched to Octopi. For me, it's an almost perfect replacement. Plus it's a local developer.

is it new? cant find it on the launcher comparison table https://grabster.notion.site/6671f3b62d8043c4aaaae22a241e3f05?v=91d9b664887643298f85fe18044d3560

thanks for this table!

Nova is rated as advanced customisability, and in this table Bridge Launcher is the only FLOSS launcher that has advanced customisability and is not discontinued, but based on the app page it's basically a programming platform, not an actual launcher :c
