Lawnchair - Android Launcher has early access release on play store.
The customizable Pixel Launcher — no clever tagline needed.
I've been using the releases from github for a while, but this is a great step towards availability for many.

We really need to think about a better name than "Early access". At this point I think I've used Lawnchair for about 5 years, 5 years after the initial event is only "early" in the context of geological eras.
I thought so! When I saw this my first thought was "wait, isn't that the one I used to use several years ago?"
Yeah, it is. Ended up not being compatible on a new phone is why I switched, I think..forgot about it after.
I mean even for video games, early access just means "release, but we openly tell you it's unfinished and buggy".
For board games, it das you went to retail instead of Kickstarter where you'll get your game 6 months later and paid more for it.
You got it earlier than me lol
Well it might have been 3 years or might have been 7, I don't remember exactly. 5 was my best guess!
To me this is a feels like a full blown release as I've been using the beta, alpha, the builds on a fork of one of the maintainers github fork, ... All of them with very few issues.
The first version (or I guess second? It's called V2) has been available on google play for many years as mentioned by @Jrockwar@feddit.uk but isn't updated anymore. I have a Pixel 3a so still use it but this new one is not the first release or anything.
Oh, there's a Lawnchair legacy! It makes more sense now, but they could have changed the icon of this one to make it less confusing.
