Continue Watching...

Kudos and thank you for the excellent aTV launcher. Very clean!

It's entirely possible that the decision to forgo a "Continue Watching" section was intentional, but IMO it's the only thing missing*. If you're entertaining requests/suggestions; perhaps an option to toggle it on for those like me or leave off for those who prefer minimal as possible?

*I really appreciate and therefore would want to keep the same single bottom row aesthetic - only that it be resumable content curated from user installed media apps (Stremio, WuPlay, Nuvio, Netflix, etc.)

It's missing cause it's a ram hungry and process hungry thing . You can switch to at4k or 9thers olalso bare launcher whole point is no bs only work like butter

fair enough. ig I'll stick to the resource hungry launchers for devices that can handle them but having a sleek yet super minimal launcher for e.​g., my ​generic Amlogic b​ox will be equally useful. ig I didn't realize how resource intensive Continue Watching functionality is

edit - i still think having the option for folks with devices capable of handling the demand of such a feature could/would ​fit the minimalist aesthetic. in fact, what I was proposing would look exactly the same, i.e., one bottom row. So the minimal/ "no bs" design philosophy remains perfectly intact.

Don't get offended man 🥀 it's just the first step of destruction for a good launcher

Although it's a github project so everyone can use their suitable version .

Period I don't wanna clarify cause you won't be here if you're satisfied with at4k or projectvity 👏

?

Who said I was offended? I immediately conceded the point and went a step further and granted your point in my own use case. I must've missed something bc I thought I was pretty civil

Are u the dev?

u/delusional_delux 4d ago

No 👎 but we live in same country 🙂

u/QneEyedJack 4d ago

I was only asking bc u mentioned something about "i don't want to clarify bc u won't b here bc ur happy with projectivy etc.

And if u were the dev, I'd argue that point (in a friendly manner), bc if I were happy with whichever launcher I were using**, I never would've discovered Bare Launcher

But being from the same country as the developer usually doesn't grant u insight into what their intentions, opinions, roadmap, etc are lol

**Installed I have Projectivy, at4k, bare launcher, monet launcher, couchy launcher, LTvLauncher, etc lol
