KISS launcher

Especially when pairing it with the Panels App

KISS has a small footprint is very fast and really makes my smartphone experience super efficient. I toggle minimalistic on, change search engine to Brave/DuckDuckGo, set my six most used apps as favorites which then show as icons at home screen bottom, assign tags to shortcuts such as favorite websites or tools such as compass, barometer, speed meter, distance calculator, etc.

You can have a tag category show up as a window from the bottom right settings menu.

Kiss also has a very effective search component. Literally the only scrolling needed will be doom scrolling on ones favorite social media app.

Widget functionality could be better but can be supplemented by said Panels app.

I have used hundreds of Android Apps since my first smartphone around 10 years ago and KISS is my most favorite of all (open source or regular) due to how its impacted how I use my phone.

I root for the underated Beatles songs.

For me it is essentially a tie between

I Don't Want to Spoil the Party and I'm Looking Through You

Look at a picture of Richard Simmons in a speedo. That should do it.

I like to plan ahead and after posting my info in the website https://www.death-clock.org/ it scared me into changing my eating habits.

Start at the very top press and hold both fingers and follow through all the way to the bottom.

Basically follow through the motion all way to bottom OR swipe with both to at least mid screen and then flick downward with momentum. Can't see why it wouldn't work for your phone 🤔

OK after more digging they are called Progressive Web Apps (PWA'S)

Now that I found proper term I am getting many results.

Thanks for reply. Do those have an .app extension? Where can they be found ?

I stumbled upon a useful website but come to find out its also a web app?!

The domain is .app. So what is cool is I was able to create its own entry in my phones app list by clicking the add to Home Screen button on Firefox.

My question is where can I find a website with lists of these with categories even

I didn't have much success with search engine queries. Thanks!.

Thanks for the nice rundown. I shall try it on my tablet.

Same. Do you use the tag feature? I have put it to good use after some tweaking. I won't be able to live without KISS either going forward.

I was a Nova evangelist until their being sold to a data analytics company.

But I absolutely love KISS launcher especially when pairing it with the Panels App

Nova Launcher may have more overall customization but KISS has enough. I toggle minimalistic on, change search engine to Brave/DuckDuckGo, set six favorites to show as icons at home screen bottom, assign tags to shortcuts such as favorite websites or tools such as compass, barometer, speed meter, distance calculator, etc.

You can have a tag category show up as a window from the bottom right settings menu.

Kiss also has a very impressive search component. Literally the only scrolling needed will be doom scrolling on ones favorite social media app.

Widget functionality not the greatest but the Panels App allows me to tuck them away under a sidebar.It takes a good amount of customization but the KISS/Panels combo delivers a sublime experience for my use case.

I found a website wwe.dontpayfull.com but it is littered with trackers 🙁

Are these primarily for UK? Thanks for sharing also.

Samsung phones have so many quality of life improvements over the default Android experience that I don't think I can get away from them just from software alone (why do you have to scroll down twice to change the brightness on normal Android it's the most important function in the quick menu)>

Only have to scroll down once but using two fingers. I am using Android 12 Motorola UX. I assume that stock Android would be similar.

I've had several Samsung phones over the years and do not like how bloated their apps have become like Samsung Notes, Samsung Health, and such. I liked their software experience when S5 was released much better. Remember Milk Music? 🙂

The only reason to buy a Samsung these days is their top shelf hardware but primarily in. their flagships. Also had hardware issue with last Samsung flagship device I owned and then awful tech support from Samsung to boot.

Moto has really upped their game especially in their Moto G 2023 5G models.(U.S. here) I'll be sticking with Moto mid-range going forward.

Holy +$@#$%-!! I was floating in the Pacific Ocean for weeks 🥶 after the ship sank. A kind Samaritan pulled me aboard and I'm now safe and sound 🤗💯 in the BoostforLemmy community.

Also am very much looking forward to the impending app release!

Maybe some are waiting for Boost or other 3rd party apps but there will likely not be a super big number coming over. Apparently doom scrolling is preferred for a large swath of Gen Zers

Need to focus on improving these communities and being active/creative especially in building niche communities on Lemmy.

I see so many communities created with just a link or two posted weekly by community creator. That kind of activity gives Lemmy a bad look.

Swimming is much easier when learning at a young age.

Thanks for response. I shall try this. If I should find anything on my search engine queries I will post it here.

Pass It on Down by Alabama is one of the only Top 5 charted country music songs that is Pro Environment.

Good luck hearing that in today's MAGA pandering country music world.

Watch the video. It will help connect the dots.

Nur in Deutschland gibt es das Paradies. Bier, das frei aus den Wasserhähnen fließt, und ordnungsgemäße Behandlung der Arbeiter. Prost

Why doesn't Aldean make a video about the other side of the coin? Yet another example of police brutality against young black men!

Looks like the downvote for no reason morons from Reddit are starting to arrive.

A helpful prior post in response to thread title and see what you get. The Fedeverse should attach users with downvotes and upvotes.

You wouldn't get nearly the brigading that you do.

That is an unbelievably stupid thing to say.

Not buying a can of beer and not allowing a family TV show to air on TV? I see nothing wrong with comparing as they are both symptoms as to what is wrong with America and that is CANCEL culture run amuck.

Cancel culture isn't exclusively associated to thealt-rigtht MAGA crowd.

Agree and the flag was just kind of there. Don't really remember dialog in the episodes discussing the flag although I was young.

So when it comes to dialog the Dukes didn't promote an ideology just reflected a southern flavor on family life.

But even though the Confederate flag is offensive to many this still isn't reason for the blacklisting of the show outside of DVD sales.

Great idea! Also I noticed that sports communities are mainly bots. Really wonder just how many actively posting users there are on Lemmy?

I use Microsoft Translator because I like the simple user interface and there is a mode where it has two microphone icons on screen and you can have a back and conversation with someone of a foreign language persuasion of our choosing.

Haven't tried any others besides googles translation website.

Maybe try to release a less inflammatory video concept next time. He is appealing to the Maga crowd but is turning off many others.

Even in the hay day of online discussion forum websites you'd have trolls that derail threads and bring nastiness to the forefront.

Good moderation, clearly defined rules and quality of content are key- contributes to a quality forum.

The karma farming and bridgading of Reddit is not missed here. Now if we can get some of the niche forums more population.

For Heiden? Absolutely! Way more then many athletes do in regular civilian life...

Eric Heiden 5 gold medals at just 21 years old. Retired shortly afterward to dabble in cycling and then become a mundane orthepedic surgeon.

Also Jerry Mather's aka 'The Beaver' still milking his long ago celebrity decades later.

I highly recommend KISS launcher

When paired with the Panels App it is such a nice setup after customizations.

I am so glad that Nova sold to that data mining owner of a company. If they hadn't I would have still been using Nova and would not have come across KISS launcher.

So fast, so efficient, with a real nice search feature. KISS has brought me great pleasure. Nova I hardly used any of the myriads of features and I was just there for the hype.

Jerboa as a placeholder for Boost. In fact launched the rocket a little bit ago in anticipation.

True but I pair KISS with the Panels App and tuck some widgets into the side bar. Not perfect as I can't get PowerAmp widget to work. 🙁

I have a challenge to those down voting, what are your favs? if you don't like honky tonk/country music feel free to move on as what are you even doing interacting with the thread then. lol

Wonder how much the Republican candidates will spend talking about catastrophic climate change? 😅
