I’m still on Nova because it just works so right for me, many others I tried didn’t.

My needs are very basic

• A home screen I can place icons in specific positions (eg not forced auto sort)
• folders (drag multiple icons on top of each other to create a group/folder)
• Message count on icons, e.g my Whatsapp icon should show a little number indicating amount of new messages
• and finally, an app drawer showing all apps in a single list (without any fancy grouping)

Maybe this is normal now but years ago Nova seemed to be the only one that offered all these basic features together

What is wrong with flat pack? I heard they were good

(noob question probably)

Self hosting nothing changed my life.

So much free time and less stress once I abandoned self hosting 😅
