The development team behind Nova Launcher, a popular Android homescreen replacement, has been significantly reduced after a recent layoff. The majority of the team, previously around a dozen people, has been let go by Branch, the mobile analytics company that acquired Nova in July 2022. Only the original developer and founder, Kevin Barry, remains on board to continue working on the project. While development will slow down, updates are expected to continue in some form.
