Layoffs have reduced the Nova Launcher from twelve members to just a single one man team. What does this mean for the launcher's future?

So, anybody know a good launcher to use once Nova goes offline?

Are there any launchers that have Nova’s 2 best features?

Swipe-to-open folders (with tap to open the first item in the folder)

Set any icon you want as an app icon?

I’ve tried Lawnchair and it was missing these 2 features. I will switch to any launcher that supports these!
