That's a long way away from being useful.

Edit: opinion changed, as per the conversation below. I'd say limited use, but definitely viable for those use cases

Can you elaborate ? I'm looking for a mLauncher replacement and this one seemd interesting, as there is picture/image background for my Onyx e-book

It's too basic.

No folders, no ability to freely arrange things, so your app drawer is everything, and unorganized. Same with the home screen.

Which, I guess that might actually work for an eink device now that I think about it (just bought a poke 5 myself), particularly one that's only going to be used as an ereader rather than a general purpose tablet with an eink screen.

There's just a minimum degree of organization that becomes a problem when it isn't there, and the device needs to be easy to use. But, yeah, I think you may have just countered my "useless" opinion. It might well be perfect for that use case, both in its bare minimum features, and how lightweight it is.

Thank you for your time, giving more details is priceless for foss devs, and readers of comments like me (✯◡✯) Take care,
