@Zer0 I follow the development and communication on GitLab. Collaboration and respect among open-source developers should be better. That would also lead to better solutions.
I’ve been trying to develop my own custom app drawer, which is also useful as a home screen. I’d like to share the result. Maybe it will inspire someone with more expertise in QML and software development.
I used the Show Desktop app by @mateo_salta as inspiration. Show Desktop OpenStore
I use the transparent area to display an app drawer as a home screen.
There is a fixed category at the bottom called “Quick Start” (similar to the Bottom Dock).
And the rest of the area is filled with the base category “Unsorted.” This contains all installed apps, just like in the app drawer.
It is now possible to create new categories and move and sort apps between categories.
It’s a wonderful way to design your own tidy app drawer that also works as a home screen.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to automatically import the installed apps into the “Uncategorized” category. I had to hardcode the launch commands into the code.
I also couldn't use app icons, which is why it's “Text Only.”
But I think with your skills (see Spike V1), you can create a perfectly organized app drawer as your home screen.
