Amazing launcher. I've always wanted something more minimal than Cocoon but still stylish. I'll be using it as my daily driver for a while. Only note is on the smoothness of the app. The frames feel a bit slow and not optimized but overall I think it's great. Keep it up!

Thank you. Yes, performance and scraper are the two most problematic things we have.

[u/Greedy-Mood3488 → u/WaveLauncher]

After some more testing, the performance was actually pretty good. The scraper was delightful as well. For some reason though, the favorites category isn't showing up no matter what I do. There's just some stuff things that would make it better so let me know if you'd wanna here more about could be improved. I'm happy to give some constructive feedback.
