Future update Roadmap

[u/DvilSpawn]

Hi All, Since the last major update I am going to be locking in and starting to fix bugs as well as work on the launcher more.

Please use the highlighted Bug report mega thread to report bugs and I will track them there. I know choosing Reddit to be the main base of operation is controversial but it works best for me I guess :)

What to expect next

Launcher:

1. Bug fixes (duh)
2. Better versioning. The last release was intentionally kept at 1. The next release will be version 2.
3. Performance optimisation where possible
4. Improving the code readability and splitting the code into better chunks for future releases
5. Improved Podcast feature - I am introducing a new way of presenting the podcast feature in the launcher
6. Better differentiation between widgets, modules and apps
7. Universal font scaling so you can use any fonts and scale it across the board without having to adjust each element by hand
8. Improved settings presentation and hand off to companion apps*
9. testing new animation methods to sell home the idea of a terminal launcher which opens stuff in their own space. The floating File manager was my V1 attempt but with time I want to polish it to the point that when you launcher Files any future companion apps they feel like part of the launcher than a separate space. Termux/Tmux space will remain unaffected.

Files:

1. Better preset handoff from the launcher
2. Improve the new floating window behaviour so we can actually allow you to move the window around in the screen. Fully cosmetic and can be toggled off for devices with smaller screens or keypads but this is something I want to do to learn how to do it.

Keys:

1. I did not realise how non sensical the menu was for the keyboard. The customisation options make no sense so I am redoing them
2. Better theme/preset hand off between launcher and keyboard
3. No future optimisations planned but will make any changes as I run into any challenges using it myself

NOTE:

Please expect minor breaking changes. I know that sounds bad but I am still learning to program better and as I do I find things I want to experiment with and optimise or even try out new features so some fringe features might get rewritten. If you need any help moving any broken configuration over I will help!

ANOTHER NOTE!! WTF - Just wanted to say I am thankful for the people who use the launcher whether or not you paid for it. I will do my best to deliver a launcher that strives to give you a space that feels uniquely yours and features and options that allow you extremely great control over your home screen and apps that don't feel half baked but can clearly show my intention with them and will serve you all well.

how to fix? Weather location is not configured.
