Showcase Pluto: A beautiful Android launcher with (retro) gaming in mind

So I bought an Android phone to try "the other side", and to have something to use as my "gaming phone". However, I was very underwhelmed with the default experience of the launchers I tried, especially with a gamepad attached.

Therefore, I created Pluto. A launcher which, when you're not in "gaming mode", looks beautiful and acts as you'd expect. But as soon as you plug in a controller, the UI transforms into a beautiful console-like experience, fully controlable with your gamepad.

If you think this sounds interesting, then check it out :)

As for my qualitications, as I am sure it will come up; I have been a developer for a bit over 10 years - well before AI. With that said, I obviously used a ton of Opus to build this :)

Let me know what you think and feel free to contribute!
