Anything in particular you followed to get it working? I ran into trouble as well.

I agree that a disclaimer might be the simplest path, but may not always be an option. I recall reading that for at least one distro their license didn’t allow for geographic disclaimers.

Having a date field that defaults to 1/1/1970 or having the API needing to be toggled on (with a notice that California users may required to turn it on) could both be privacy respecting options.

Adding these features in a way that’s intentionally unhelpful isn’t necessarily rolling over, but may shield against lawsuits (IANAL).

I’d also expect it could make Google translate unable to pronounce words.

Why remove Nova before you’ve got things set up? Get a feel for whether or not your new launcher works for you for probably at least a month before removing the old.

If you don’t find any issues you can’t live with within a month, you should be fine.

Lawnchair seems to do a good chunk of what Nova does. I haven’t taken the time to fully recreate my setup, but most things I’ve tried have worked so far.

With Nova I have a setup that more or less fits everything on my home page without looking too busy. Lawnchair is letting me change the number of rows and columns, shrink icon size, choose a monochrome theme as a default, make folders, etc.
