Summary: Opinionated Android app launcher inspired by Notational Velocity: a single searchable list, no widgets or folders. Pin what you use, demote what you don't, and tag apps with your own vocabulary.

To learn Flutter development I created an opinionated app launcher for Android. It's working prinicple is based on text search inspired by [Notational Velocity](https://www.notational.net/) and text based minimalism.

Instead of widgets, folders or docks, you get a single searchable list where typing is the primary way to navigate. Apps you reach for constantly can be pinned to the top; ones you rarely use get pushed to the bottom out of the way. Tags let you impose your own vocabulary on top of the system's categories, so searching *+work* or *@social* surfaces exactly what you mean rather than what Android thinks you mean.

Plasmoid treats your app list as something you actively curate rather than a grid you scroll through without getting in the way. Just like software should be.
