Layoffs have reduced the Nova Launcher from twelve members to just a single one man team. What does this mean for the launcher's future?

Branch Metrics sucks. They fired almost of all people working for Nova.

It sucks that people are laid off but I’m not shocked. I can’t imagine the launcher raking in tons of cash. Maybe it does, but I wouldn’t expect it to. Honestly I’m surprised that nova wasn’t just a passion project by someone.
