minus-squareweststadtgesicht@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up43arrow-down1·4 months agoSadly this comes as no (big) surprise. Sharing the fate with many great projects from small dev teams, Nova was dead the moment it was bought up.

minus-squareTyler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months agoI was wondering why it’s always freezes on my home screen the last several months.
minus-squareyeehawlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months agoAh this happens to me occasionally as well. It went away for a long time. If memory serves its if I open an app and go back to the home screen too quickly or something. Usually I just lock and unlock my screen to fix it.
minus-squaretb_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·4 months agoI really like Niagara, though it is quite a bit different from Nova. Lawnchair V2 is also a thing outside of the Playstore.
