Describe the bug

Hi, what is the purpose of using pop-launcher versus systemctl/dbus for launching?

Thanks!

You can take a look at #38 and #19. I admit the name can be confusing but pop-launcher is not used only for launching. It has the free-desktop entry specification sorted out already, i.e searching, launching, sorting desktop entry. It also provides a set of builtin plugin and can be easily extended with user defined plugin.
