I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, but if you don't even stand behind your own readme, I struggle to trust your code.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
There's more than the README that is generated.
Yes, which completely undermines my trust and confidence in such a project.
But honestly, I was genuinely frustrated with macOS 26's launchpad changes and wanted to build something to fix it. Yeah, the project has the problem but I'm trying to improving it. I just simply want there are more solutions, more alternative there. For the technology side, I am still a student, and my technical skills are not good, far from good. I just want the problem to be fixed, and for us to have better tools.

Do you mean when you first open the software, or when you go to other pages? It does feel sluggish when you first open it. Also the RAM usage is not that good. I hope I can do some optimization on it.
Swiping between pages is hit or miss. Its like it doesn't hook on the swipe. The search is really, really slow. I do have hundreds of "apps" on my machine, but it's still much slower than the native app navigator. Moving around apps to group them or rearrange them is probably the slowest part. I turned on dev fps monitor and it's showing 50fps.
( ls /Applications/.app 2>/dev/null ls /System/Applications/.app 2>/dev/null ls ~/Applications/*.app 2>/dev/null ) | wc -l 730
For me, it was really slow at the beginning, but it got much better after that. I'm not sure why, but this at least shows that there are still big problems with the current performance...
I can't say I miss Launchpad all that much, but I guess its nice to have a replacement for people who do. I've always used Spotlight via Cmd + Space to launch stuff. The two things I always wished you could do in the old Launchpad (and would have made me hate it a lot less) are: Configuring the size of the icon grid. Just give me the option to make it denser, the defaults were silly on external displays. and the othe…
Why? Well, there are some apps I have installed and forgotten, for example, I have several 3D printer slicers, but normally I only use one. I grouped them into a folder, so I could check what I have installed if I wanted to switch for whatever reason. I also had a folder called "useless", where I place everything that I don't used but I can't remove (Apple stuff, Safari extensions, bloat installed with LaTeX, and so on).
The new "apps" can't be organized. Everything is just thrown there, only sorted alphabetically. There's no reason for me to use that, if I remember what I want I can just type in Spotlight
PS: It's possible to bring back Launchpad in Tahoe through the command line. I only didn't that yet because I don't know how safe it is to do that.

Yes, I understand how you feels. I did use AI for documentation and the project. I know that's not ideal and probably comes across as low-effort. But honestly, I was genuinely frustrated with macOS 26's launchpad changes and wanted to build something to fix it. Yeah, the project has the problem but I'm trying to improving it.

> note that most of the README below are generated by Claude AI, haven't look into it, some information maynot be accurate. but for claude, you are absolutely right! I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, but if you don't even stand behind your own readme, I struggle to trust your code.

It’s a one person passion project. We’re grateful you even showed us. Perhaps someone with strong opinions about open source will volunteer to write over the parts they don’t like.
