Thanks for condensing the requests from 2024. Could you please share how you collected these and decided which one should be included?

Also, please do not include requests we have declined without any notice that we did.

Agree on TFackler. Where were this from? And general description for each?

To summarize, the only good features I personally think that can be considered here are:

• Both side alphabet trail for left handed
• Disable alphabet navigation on homescreen

The first one is for accessibility concern. (But I remember reading some article or discussion about this year/s ago, can't remember the main reason why it wasn't implemented)

Then for the other — I'm unsure if removing the alphabet app drawer is a good idea. While apps can be accessed via search and the home screen, I'm concerned about the current alphabet app drawer and its current features (aside from app list): "Recently Installed," "Niagara settings," and "Pop-up folders". Personally, I use a pop-up folder in the Niagara button accessible thru swipe-up action. I believe this should be a pro feature, as the changes, while seemingly simple, have broad implications.

Other than above, ff. are my thoughts on listed features, which in my opinion not really "most requested" features:

Homescreen widget like Nothing OS to control some action like WIFI, FlashLight etc

• This should be handled by KWGT. I think what you're referring is to have Niagara be able to add Nothing OS widgets.

Some more gesture on Niagra button, Clock, Calendar event. Like long press, swipe etc

• I don't think there's need more gesture for button. As a minimalist launcher, it's enough

Make niagra home screen little less empty in large mobile screen

• You can adjust the icon size and text to make it less empty.

Customization related with clock, its size, spacing between niagra widgets

• I think there's also discussion about this too. And the current approach is the best for minimalist approach. Can use KWGT for more customization.

More than 1 visible widget on Homescreen

• Possible with KWGT

Backup and restore, may be with google drive backup or local json

• There's already backup and restore feature.

Battery percentage icon

• Can be done with KWGT. The current approach should be enough.

Literally the best feature on that list.

Agreed, imaging being able to swipe left, right, and down for more actions or launch other apps quickly.
