I stopped using it because of that for a while. I have not found another launcher that has the swipe up and down on home screen icons to open other apps, put 9 icons in the dock and a few other things I can’t remember right now…
I blocked all Internet access to nova to circumvent analytics. Not sure if it’s working but until I find a different launcher…
It’s doesn’t have anywhere near the same feature set or polish but I think neolauncher probably comes the closest to replacing nova as far as open source solutions go.
Have been using Niagara launcher for a while. Quite a different feeling than normal launcher but really great. You can swipe up from any app icon to either open a folder of more apps or attach widgets to a small pop up screen. Super handy and I love it.

Do you mean using folder icons as app list covers, so that a tap opens the app and a swipe opens the folder? If so, Action Launcher does that (if I’m not mistaken it was the first to do so, and it’s swipe up or down). Neo Launcher also has it (swipe up only).

I’m currently using Kvaesitso. It’s different, but it’s worth a try There’s also discreet launcher

Oh I think I tried that at some point. I see your point, it is closest to nova rn

I use Evie Launcher. It does some of the things you say. You need to find the apk somewhere, bc it’s no longer available on play/aurora store
Some of that is supported by Action Launcher
This is the main feature keeping me on Nova.
