Android developer Larva Labs is taking a stab at re-inventing the homescreen on Android devices with an interface called Flow Home. The idea behind Flow Home is to get rid of all the small icons and tapping and swiping users engage in when using an Android device. Instead, the Flow Home interface pulls information out of the apps and shows it right on the homescreen.
The primary view with Flow Home appears to be a grid of widgets that users scroll through vertically. When a user sees something they need to access more in-depth, they can tap on the tile to drill down. Outside of that, for direct access to apps that may not be displayed via a tile on the homescreen, Flow Home provides a button in the lower right corner that users can tap with their thumb. This brings up a pie inspired fan of applications.
The team behind Flow Home 2.0 is currently signing folks up to use the beta version of the launcher. If you want to get in on the action and give Flow Home a try, hit the source link below.
