Hi Niagara Team,
First of all, I love the minimalist design and the fluid alphabet scrollbar of Niagara Launcher. It’s truly a game-changer!
I am writing to request a localized improvement for users in Taiwan: the addition of a Zhuyin (Bopomofo) alphabet index in the app drawer.
The Problem:
Currently, when the system language is set to Traditional Chinese, the scrollbar uses Latin letters (A-Z) based on Pinyin. While this works for some, most users in Taiwan are educated using Zhuyin (ㄅ, ㄆ, ㄇ, ㄈ...) rather than Pinyin.
Using Latin letters to find Chinese apps feels counterintuitive for us because:
We don't mentally associate Chinese characters with Latin spellings.
It slows down the "wave" navigation speed, which is Niagara's core strength.
The Desired Solution:
When the device language is set to Chinese (Taiwan), I suggest replacing or adding the option to use the Zhuyin symbols on the right-side scrollbar (ㄅ, ㄆ, ㄇ, ㄈ...). This would allow us to jump to apps instantly by their phonetic symbols, just like English users do with A-Z.
Why it would be helpful:
This would greatly improve the accessibility and user experience for millions of users in Taiwan, making the "Niagara Wave" feel native and seamless for Traditional Chinese speakers.
Thank you for considering this request! Keep up the amazing work.
