    As an ongoing issue that's kinda slipped from the spotlight in regular media lately, I think it's a good idea to boost the signal a little bit once a week. What's the harm in that?

    It doesn't show icons and allows you to hide and rename apps.

    I do have two qualms:

    • pressing the clock up the top of the home screen somehow directs you to the alarm mode of the clock app, so if i want to run a timer i have to open the clock app manually
    • chrome powered PWAs don't actually show up in the launcher anywhere. But it seems like firefox ones do? Unfortunately firefox has less support for PWAs it seems
