I'm making a few of these for a friend. They are about 6" long and have some pipe cleaners on the inside to help them keep shape if you give them a little bend!

Hi guys!

I've been using Ravelry for around a decade now (not so much for the social aspect - which has always been great, when I did participate) and have gotten a few apps over the years to help fill in the gaps - like before the mobile view was useful, I had an app that was a mobile-app-interface for the desktop site, for example.

Yesterday was the first time I'd heard of Ribblr and I think I really like it! It seems to have the databasing of patterns and yarn like Ravelry does, but there's a method of keeping tabs on where you are in the pattern right there on the page. And there's a marketplace. I don't know how much I care about that, but I do have 2 large suitcases of things I've made and still have...

This is not an advertisement or affiliate linking or anything like that - I was just curious if any of you guys had seen it (been around since 2019, I guess. I don't internet much), have any insights on Ribblr - good or bad - or have any other sites that you would recommend people check out.

Thanks!

Maybe something for the Pixel phones? I've been using ADW for a long time now, and was wondering what some frequently used launchers are. (I used Cyanogen for a long time, too.)

There are lists all over the internet, but I'm interested in what the Lemmy crowd likes. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks guys - a few of these were on my radar, some I hadn’t heard of or seen in the Play/f-droid lists. Having the reasons why you like each of them helps me figure out what I want from a launcher (for instance, the purchase of Nova by a company known for its data collection is a big turn-off even though it seems loved) - since you guys laid out some pros and cons of a bunch of launchers, it gives me a better picture!

Edit 2: You guys, this is a great resource for figuring out which launchers look like something worth trying (for me), and which ones are in the stores but not what I'm looking for. Without just trying them all, that is... And considering that I hadn't even heard of all of them...

This has been a huge help for me, and I hope some others out there got something out of the post! I should be replying to everyone, but I'm not ... Sorry. But I did read everything and have already started compiling a list in my head, and started tagging and categorizing. And those who included screen shots and links and lists and opinions and FOSS alternatives/forks - they helped! This whole thing helped!
