End of an era: Nova Launcher's parent company lays off practically everyone
Layoffs have reduced the Nova Launcher from twelve members to just a single one man team. What does this mean for the launcher's future?
So, anybody know a good launcher to use once Nova goes offline?

I have tried Kvaesito, Niagara, Nova, Kiss and Lawnchair(and forks), personally I prefer Lawnchair because it it the most standard regarding workflow and has all if not most features one would want in a launcher. Plus the fact it is fully FOSS and supports Arcticons. If you have a small number of apps you typically launch then Kiss or Niagara(Paid Pro version recommended) would work nicely.
Where is Lawnchair? It's not on F-droid and the Google Play store says Lawnchair 2 is for an older os (I'm on 14).
I use LawnchairRelease, a fork of one of the devs from Lawnchair. You can also use the original Lawnchair Launcher
Add Izzy's on Droid Repo to Fdroid. It is there. Or download it directly from Github, the latest release(v14) are the Beta 1, Beta 2 and the Nightly Version.
Sounds great but is it true it won't allow custom icons?
What will not allow custom icons? All of them support custom icons. What do you mean?
Another review of it claimed it couldn't but I'll give it a try. Thanks.
1+ for Lawnchair! It's virtually the only launcher that supports gesture navigation without a weird delay or issues
