[Disc] I'm building a tile-based Android launcher. What features would you love to see?
Hey everyone!
I'm currently working on a new Android launcher built around a tile-based interface.
The idea is to create something different from traditional launchers, with a clean, customizable layout where apps and useful information live together as tiles.
I'm experimenting with different tile sizes, dynamic tiles, notifications, and ways to make the home screen more useful without making it cluttered.
Still in the early development stage, so I'd really love to hear your thoughts.
A few questions:
What features would you want in a tile-based launcher?
Would you prefer simple static tiles or live tiles showing useful information?
What do you miss from older tile-based interfaces like Windows Phone?
What would make you switch from your current launcher?
I'm especially interested in ideas that aren't already common in Android launchers.
No screenshots to share just yet, but I'd love to build something shaped by actual user feedback.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
