Is this app still in development?
Is this app still in development? If it’s ever out of development, are there any plans to hand it over to another developer?

Dear Community,
Apologize for my long silence… It’s time for an update. Let’s make it short and clear so that it doesn’t become too boring 😉
My current availability is near zero. Since I’m the only developer of the app, the natural consequence is that the project is on hold. And as far as I can see, this isn’t going to change before 4 full months. I’m really missing Android apps development in general, and this community in particular, but most probably I won’t be back before end of March or beginning of April 2018. At the very best I’ll only be able to release some quick emergency update at the end of the year, but even that is not a certain thing.
Still, I’m worried about the current status of the app, which has some important issues that require fixing. And if I recall correctly there’s also a beta in progress… but that’s another issue! Trying to find a way to go on, but I can only see two options. Either find someone to help me on the project, or make the project open source. Both options have major difficulties though, so nothing is really progressing yet.
To sum up: the project is not dead, but on hold. I’m willing to resume it and I’m currently considering several options. However nothing is done yet.
I’m afraid this isn’t very good news… although not so bad neither maybe! Anyway, I’d like to warmly thank people in this community for their involvement. Without any doubt, there would be no Lightning Launcher without this community. Thanks!
Jay M Hey thanks for replying! Glad to know that the app hasn’t been abandoned. Wish you luck in whatever you decide, I love the app and will keep using it as long as I can!
PS You may have written the wrong year.

Jay M Oh that’s a little embarrassing. Thanks!
don’t worry about him not being around though the launcher still works and bugs that popup can sometimes be fixed with a script by someone in the community.
