[FEATURE REQUEST] All apps on the screen at once #233

Open elSolus opened 6 months ago

elSolus commented 6 months ago

All apps arranged like a written paragraph, like Last Launcher (LL) does. I mean just as an option if one wants it. It could be selected ones to be arranged in that layout like LL. It could be easy as LL is also open source and just a few modifications in the code could do the trick, right? I would love to hear what you and other people think about it. Thanks a lot for your efforts.

I am not opposed to exploring different ways to display the list of apps. (Definitely we will want to change things up a bit to support landscape mode.)

Regarding Last Launcher specifically, I am honestly interested to hear what it is about that interface that is appealing? It seems to me that it would be hard to find the app you are looking for or does your spatial memory eventually help by remembering its approximate location within the word cloud? What kind of benefits do you see with that format over a simple column of apps?

I personally think it would be better to instead add an option to increase the column count on the app drawer. I feel it's one of the simplest ways to more efficiently utilize the screen, and see more apps at once.

But this is a good suggestion, @elSolus! :D
