GoKawiilOpen-source launcher Supernova emerges as Nova Launcher alternative, sidesteps Play Store
Android Authority reports on Supernova, a community-built home screen app that replicates and extends Nova Launcher's features but is distributed outside the Google Play Store, requiring manual installation and updates. The report notes Nova Launcher's co-founder once suggested an open-source release could happen if he left the project, but more than a year after Nova's most recent sale, no official open-sourcing has occurred.
