Finding the latest version…

MangoLauncher started as a question: what would a desktop launcher look like if it were built for the joy of it? The answer is a shell with real-time effects on the GPU, rain running down glass, dust catching the light, and particles that follow the cursor.

Development is paused while the enterprise products take priority. A video walkthrough and a downloadable build are the next steps.
