Yeah, high-five for SquareHome launcher. I never used a Windows Phone, but SHL caught my eye and it's amazing. Props for the cat photo on the home screen.

Ah man you're lucky you didn't use a Windows Phone. You'd be crying yourself to sleep knowing Mobile OSes reached perfection and then it was cancelled 😭.

SHL is extremely powerful and very intuitive. Especially as a WP user.

Also, I waited till the live tile updated to Simba's photo. No meow, No post πŸ€ŒπŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸΌ.

I still have a Lumia 1520 and 1020 because I can't get rid of them. For whatever reason, I never got on board with SHL though. I think I found it too long after I had accepted that Windows Phone was gone...

[–] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah man.

You could maybe sell them online?

Also,

I think I found it too long after I had accepted that Windows Phone was gone...

saddest sentence ever 😭

[–] AngryDemonoid@lemmy.lylapol.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry my wording was ambiguous. I meant I don't want to get rid of them. I still have an old Palm Pre and Pixi around somewhere too. And an HP Touchpad and Zune...

I'm not nostalgic for much, but I love my old underdog tech. Lol

Nice.

Bruh listen, I've never felt physical pain when nostalgic about anything apart from the ending of Windows Phone. I get your sentiment πŸ˜‚.
