Something I cannot find in any other FOSS launcher that is the one part of Nova I want to keep: gestures on home page folders. Home page icons that I can swipe up or down to do independent actions and can be an app or folder of apps. Nothing I've found seems to have the same features in this regard.
Octopi Launcher does this
Not who you're responding to, but part of me really wants Octopi to be available on F-Droid and open source
That might be what i switch to for now, but really want a FOSS option so I don't have to worry about doing this again
