Branch Metrics sucks. They fired almost of all people working for Nova.

You're posting this brief message a lot, so I googled it, and, no releases since October 2022? Only on f droid and is there really no way to pay other than PayPal donations? Am I looking at the right neo launcher?

Development isn't dead, but the lack of releases and fees (one time purchase, please) don't give me confidence.

It's FOSS. It's pretty normal for it to be a passion project or a community effort.

I moved to lawnchair 2 beta (or whatever it is.) I liked neo but the promised release just never came. I kept having it crash and it always took a few seconds to restart.

Lawnchair has been reliable though even for a beta.

Dev seems close to next release, I put in a bug on searching with SearXNG and it was fixed the next day.

And looks like alpha 1 hit the release page.

One time purchase?

It's a open source project, you can install it for free, but you could still donate.

As far as I can tell they are working on a new release.

Don't use it now, but you can follow their GitHub/ F-Droid to see when they get a new release.
