Branch Metrics sucks. They fired almost of all people working for Nova.

Article mentions 3rd party launcher gesture issues, but I've never seen this problem. I used to use Nova but switched to Smart launcher for the blur, but at no time have gestures been an issue. Any ideas what they mean?

There's a known (assumed intentional) issue with Android where a gesture to go home will show the home screen, but nothing responds to touch for a half second. I've been using Nova for years and I experience it daily. I feel like the delay has gotten better, though.

Ooooh that. Yeah I get that with android auto.

I've recently turned off all apps (including google) permission to draw over other apps and that seems to have stopped it for me, on Pixel 8.

That makes sense. Good tip.
