Lucid Launcher was never meant to get as far as it is. It was only meant to be a small project for myself. I began creating it back in 2013 and slowly developed it. A few people saw it and urged me to put it up on the Play Store. At that point it lacked many features such as basic things like widgets on the home page, shortcuts, and icon theming. I put up a thread on XDA about my launcher and within a small period it got featured on the XDA portal. This is what jump-started the development. This was a huge moment for me because before then I only had a couple of games and tools on the Play Store only getting 1 to 2 downloads a day. Now my launcher got 1000 + downloads in one day! I met a few people online that were excited about my project and they helped me with design and other components. I began working non-stop on the project. My team and I decided to come out with a major update on February 14 2014 (Valentines Day) which included some amazing changes as well as a whole new look. This brought much attention to the new launcher. I began a community on Google + for anyone who wanted to help, post bugs, or post suggestions. Soon later I had a whole fan base. The more popular the launcher got, the more demanding and harsh reviewers were. I was not used to all of it so it really got in my head and bothered me. Thankfully I had a whole community who backed me up, appreciated my work. and helped me out. I began paying attention mostly from what the community wanted and soon enough I had a launcher that was pleasing to most. And now at the point I am, I am proud of my work and hope others will try it out and love it as well. It is a new experience. Unlike most other launchers, Lucid Launcher was developed from scratch with multiple unique features. Some of those features include vertical scrolling home pages and a built in web browser that can be accessed by swiping (the browser can also be disabled). I also have created a separate browser app taken from Lucid Launcher named Lucid Browser. I hope you will check out my work! Have a terrific day!
