the buying of it by the ad company was awful but there were never any open source fdroid launchers that were as good. kevin open sourcing it will hopefully help get a decent open source launcher going, hopefully!

edit: coming back here the next morning and i misunderstood the original post (that’s what i get for being on the internet so late); it’s a shame it won’t be open sourced though hopefully he can say feck it and post it on the internet anyway.
