I built a free and open source minimalist launcher for Android

Hacker News

Created a minimalist launcher for personal use. After using it as my daily driver, I slowly start removing all the distracting and unnecessary apps and reduced installed apps on my phone from 125 to 47 currently. A minimal launcher is not for everyone but using it greatly decreased my phone usage and saved a lot of time. The app recently reached 1000 downloads on the play store. So decided to share it here with everyone. Feedback is most welcome. Thank you Github: https://github.com/VaibhavLakhera/minimo Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.minimo.lau...
