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.

I made just this, and its an actual home screen. Not an app.

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

@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.
