Leaders Needed

[tyler-dane]

I’ve lost the motivation to keep leading the group, and have decided to step away from Focus Launcher. I still believe that this project has the potential to create a more humane mobile interface that improves the lives of many. But right now the project does not have any leadership remaining. I really hope that some of you will step in and take the product and community further than I could.

Some practical things:

• I have credentials for all our accounts: website, Play Store, Twitter, GitHub. Whoever wants to take over should reach out to me and I’ll be happy to hand them all over.
• I think Focus Launcher could be made more sustainable by monetizing it and paying consistent contributors. I expanded on that idea in Monetize #70

Thank you to everyone who spent their time on the project throughout the last year, and best of luck 🙏 ❤️

Hi @tyler-dane ,

just wondering if this post is still up to date? This sounds like a great project for me and my team of fellow computer science students. I'll try to compile it and take a closer look at it as soon as possible. I'd love to hear more!

Thx for this awesome open source contribution and kind regards,
Jonas Braun

Hi Jonas, everything in this post is still accurate. There hasn't been any leadership changes. The app would need to be updated with Google Play's new policies. All that said, would love to get you set up if you're interested. LMK. My email is ***@***.***
