  • I found it too limited and broken. For example, the app names don’t work when you increase the rows/columns, you can only use the default number if you want icon titles.

    When I was trying different numbers of rows/columns, it would wipe all the apps I added each time I changed it.

    Widgets are buggy and can crash the launcher.

    Honestly, I think the only people who suggest this launcher are people who only use default settings. I need lots of customization.











  • I’ve only ever heard people saying these kinds of posts make them feel worse, rather than being helpful.

    It makes it seem like “it’s so simple, just be happy and the stress will go away” while they, obviously, already want that but it feels unattainable to them. Thus making them feel even more like there’s something wrong with them because they can’t achieve something that is portrayed as a simple thing.

    I get the intent of this post is in the right place, but in this case the execution is done poorly. It’s best to leave this sort of thing to people more skilled and knowledgeable in the very important nuances of this kind of communication.






  • I’ve worked with tons of clients that have “successfully used GoDaddy for years” while they are paying far more for a domain that nearly any other registrar, they are forced to pay for a basic SSL certificate that is free anywhere else, they are tricked into buying services that that don’t need and literally makes things worse and more difficult.

    But ask someone who actually knows webdev and web hosting and you’ll hear all about the issues that are there in plain sight.

    GoDaddy very simply preys on people who don’t know any better.



  • The problem is they are screwing you over without you knowing about it. Just because you’re oblivious doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Yes, they make it easy to give them money, but the services they provide are horrendous when you know how they compare.

    Of course, if you’re not qualified to determine how bad they are then you’re not going to see much of it. Just like if you don’t know anything about cars and your mechanic charges you way too much and for things that you don’t need, like “blinker fluid”, and you just think “oh this is fine”, that doesn’t mean that’s not an awful mechanic.
