I’ve been enjoying the launcher 10 launcher on my phone for more than two years now. Whenever I change my launcher, I keep going back to it. I find it to be so productive for my use. And the windows 10 live tiles ui is also great.

Yeah, visually there are alternatives on Android, but there were a few features built into WP that Android doesn’t fundamentally support.
Like having your SO’s all accounts merged under a single node, and seeing everything related to her, be it from WhatsApp, Mail, SMS, Photo Shares etc inside a single tile was awesome. Can Android do that in 2024?

HTC had Blinkfeed for a while which was kind of similar to People Hub. It probably wouldn’t even be feasible these days as so many services have put their APIs behind paywalls.
