I've been using Olauncher which is on F-Droid / Play Store.
It is truly minimal AF. Up to 8 apps on the home screen. Assign a swipe left/right app (calendar and weather for me). Swipe up opens a search for the rest of the apps. A clock if you want it that can be configured to open another app.
No icons. No widgets (other than a built-in clock). Reminds me more of a terminal than a traditional launcher. Really happy with it after all the time configuring Nova. Been using it for 3 years now.
That link is a Minecraft launcher, not sure that's the correct project? Or am I missing something? :)
Fuck me. Fixed.
At least by me a drink before although I appreciate the direct approach ;)
On a serious note, thank you! Looks a bit too text heavy for me (I prefer symbols) but still looks like an awesome project!

One tip for Olauncher is that you can put emojies in the app's names! It makes things a lot less text heavy.
