Feature Request: Support for Zhuyin (Bopomofo) Alphabet Index for Traditional Chinese Users

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.
