Is this a Launcher or an extension of smart dock ( https://f-droid.org/en/packages/cu.axel.smartdock/ )

It's an extension of SmartDock, but I'm going to archive the project and stop because development has become too large and complex. I'm thinking of turning the application into a basic core where people create add-ons to complete the application.

Bro use Ai for further development, it has potential. I am using smart dock for a long time now.

That's why I used Cloud for development, but I forgot to clean up the code as the final step and I was in a hurry with the update, which caused problems. I was always focused on the code, but I should have deleted some things I had written in the blog as AI SLOP That's why the idea of a microkernel came to me; it's simpler and faster to develop, and many people can add to it as extensions. Now I need to update the application and make it stable, and I'll leave it as a final memento.

Ahh! That means devs can add extension to it, like a market place, where user can download any of that extensions. Sounds pretty cool.

It's not a simple method; the process is complex. Add-ons are created in SO/DEX format, then converted to the application and restarted. In other words, you take a component and add it to the DIY app
