Cliff’s Notes 2026: Episode Four Been a couple of weeks since I did my previous Cliff's Notes, so I figured I'd try and get one out this week. Couple of things to talk about, mostly work wise, so that will be the bulk of this episode.

Cliff’s Notes 2026: Episode Three Once again, kind of changing up how I post these Cliff's Notes posts. I've tried to do them every week, but personally I think that's a bit too often. So I've decided I'm just going to do them every two to three weeks and I'm simply going to name them chronological order for the year.

Cliff’s Notes: Episode 2 Of 2026 Not much happened this week to be honest, which isn't necessarily a bad thing in a lot of cases. But there are a couple of things I'll talk about, so let's get to each of those.

Cliff’s Notes Episode One Of 2026 It's been almost a month since I did a weekly update, and for that I apologize. Things have been crazy to say the least so let's just dive in and get right to it. Though this will likely be a considerably shorter Cliff's Notes than usual.

Why I Haven’t Been Active On Mastodon I was asked about three weeks or so ago by CyberSecKyle as to why I hadn't posted or been active on Mastodon for about two weeks at the time. This was in our Discord that we still run and own, which is still called AllThingsTech.

An orange tabby cat is stretched out across a computer keyboard and the edge of a computer monitor. The cat is positioned diagonally across the setup, with its head resting near the monitor and its body extending over the keyboard. The keyboard is purple and backlit with bright purple lighting. The monitor displays a dark-colored desktop with several windows open; the visible text reads “Wed” and "Check Bugging Process." The cat's paws are visible on the keyboard, and its eyes are open. The background appears to be a dark-colored desk mat with a blue and red pattern.

Cliff’s Notes For The Week Ending October 25th Greetings and happy Sunday! It's time for yet another Weekly Notes, however, there's changes to them this week. I've decided to go ahead and go with the name Cliff's Notes, but I'll still use the hashtag of #WeeklyNotes on places like Mastodon since so many others use that one.

Weekly Notes For October 8th – October 15th Last week's Weekly Notes post went pretty well to be honest. A bit better than I expected actually. Thank you to everyone who took a look and actually read it, or at least pretended to read it. For week two, it's a bit more than a week because I wanted get my thoughts on my new job at Skylight after the first day or two of working there. So yeah, let's go ahead and dive in and discuss this past week or so.

A hand is holding a gray pen-shaped tool over a dark, patterned surface. The tool has a ribbed section near the tip and a smooth, cylindrical body that widens toward the back. The tip appears to be metallic and pointed, likely for detailed work. The hand is partially visible, with fingers wrapped around the tool’s body. The surface below is a dark gray with a grid-like pattern of small squares.

A cylindrical, dark gray device rests diagonally on a light gray surface with a grid pattern. The device has a textured grip section in the middle and smoother sections at both ends. One end features a silver-colored connector, while the other is a solid, rounded cap. Several metallic gears of varying sizes are partially visible in the blurred background, positioned to the left and right of the device. The surface beneath the device is marked with a precise grid, and faint lines radiate outwards from a central point. The text “4020” is visible on the body of the device.

The image features a plate of food with a sandwich and side items. The sandwich is cut into four triangular pieces, revealing layers of ham, melted cheese, and possibly shredded chicken, all encased in a golden-brown, flaky crust. The sandwich is dusted with a light coating of powdered sugar, giving it a slightly sweet appearance. Accompanying the sandwich are a portion of golden French fries and a small white ramekin containing a dark, chunky sauce, likely a barbecue or sweet chili sauce. A pickle spear is also present on the plate, adding a touch of green. In the background, there is a glass of a dark beverage, possibly soda, and a red napkin, suggesting a casual dining setting. The plate is set on a wooden table, enhancing the warm and inviting atmosphere of the meal.

Answering Some Randomly Generated Questions

Sadly, there is indeed nobody to ask. Kevin is the only person and he doesn't use social media and never really has.

Join the Mod My Device Discord Server! The premier hub for modding and customizing your device. Android, iOS, desktop, all are welcome! | 41308 members

If you wish to join the Discord server, discord.gg/modmydevice is the URL for you to use to join. It's what used to be the official Nova Support server, but we now do a lot of other stuff.

I certainly could be wrong, but Kevin is working by himself, has nobody running support or answering support emails. It would be really hard to get a release out, and even if he did, hard to hear about bugs/issues and such with nobody to answer the support stuff and report back to him.

Again, this is all my personal opinion of course, but because Branch laid off 120+ individuals, including everyone that was working on Nova except Kevin himself(they couldn't lay him off due to the contract), I don't think we'll ever see another update to Nova.

I would urge you to join the Mod My Device Discord(what used to be the official Nova Launcher Support Discord), for other 3rd party launcher information. We branded for obvious reasons and the server is now all about modding any device, and isn't Nova specific.

Also, I assume you know we all got laid off from Branch/Nova back on August 7th, 2024, so I am not associated with Branch/Nova any longer and haven't been for nearly a year now.

I doubt you'll hear anything from Kevin or Nova. Just my personal opinion. There are lots of other 3rd party launchers out there that you can use if you want, or simply keep using Nova.
