I wanna go home

I might have one wish: a multi-page app drawer (vertical or horizontal) or some other way of grouping apps rather than simply sorting them by name. Perhaps with horizontal dividers or spacing.

It is currently under development and there is a €2,000 bounty for it (issue #127):

@libremax Thanks for the link. That’s exactly what I mean, only even better.

@Linus67 Yeah. I think the priority is to improve the app drawer and add features there. That's kind of the "home" in UT. I don't think there's immediate need to do drastic change to have an actual home. The desktop is also empty but I don't think it should also be a priority. Maybe on the desktop use case but not on mobile.

@Zer0 please, I would suggest you don't spam on old subjects. One thread for your app is more than enough

[Keneda]

@CiberSheep
I don't think this is spam, just a ping for "home apps" users (like I did myself here when Pavel released "Home").
Sadly "home" and "launcher modular" no longer have their original mainteners (and I'm very worried about what happened to Pavel...).

They got "forked" by some others to work under Focal, but that's kind of dead ends.
So this is a way to tell those apps former users there is an alternative, I guess.

After all, he announced here, just few post upper, that he intended to do something "homish".
Now he did and announce it.

I don't believe that deserved locking thread.

@Keneda thank you Kaneda, but this user was reviving threads inactive for months with the same message (that I merged into one thread or deleted if it was only this message).
One thread is enough. Mentions on active threads are ok if it's not only the link to other threads.

[Keneda]

@CiberSheep
This thread was still active before he gets here.
Beside this is "the official" home discussion thread.

True. Sorry, I had too many old thread reopened by the user.

@Zer0 I hope you stay in touch with Ubuntu Touch.
Just like Ubuntu Touch itself, there are several layers to the Ubuntu Touch community. You'll find the right people.

@Zer0 Pleas keep sharing, i don't want buttons on my home screen, but i am glad you build it...
i know there is a lot of people out there that do want exactly that.

i like Kugi's attempt more to organize the launcher, that works like a charm for me.
That is the beauty of Ubuntu Touch, if you can dream it you can build it.

I can post again

Sorry for the hiccup

[Keneda]

@Linus67
I think this got on a wrong turn and sadly he got quite upset about what happened here.
That put him off.
This should never happen anywhere, but here (UBPorts forum an open-source community in general) in particular.

Well, moderators do have to make some decisions. To me it seemed @cibersheep made a polite request and also later apologized for the hiccup. This particular thread seems like a fine place to post about homespike, but I can't see which other posts were deleted.

To me it seemed like a fair instinct by a moderator, politely communicated, as well as fair points by @keneda.
Nothing so offputting to me.

[CiberSheep]

I am sorry. I will make sure this doesn't happen again (at least from my side)

[nbdynl]

@CiberSheep Great respect towards you owning your hiccup.

To me, the guy just seemed enthusiastic. You see the same thing with a few others on this forum... a bit of cross-posting here and there, sometimes even on topics that aren't directly related. But he's actually building things, and we're in a position where people who have the ability time and willingness to build something are in short supply.

but mistakes are made, and will be made again.
We are all Human after all
wel except for a few Robots that are working to build UBports 24/7 (meant to say this as with great respect )
