So, anybody know a good launcher to use once Nova goes offline?

Do give my work on progress launcher a try

Seems to have a lot of features I like so far

I can't seem to add more than two apps to a folder, is that a known bug?

It's not a known bug, could you provide more details? I just tried creating a home screen folder with 4 apps, and am able to.

Yeah sorry lol, I was not clear.
When I go to add a third app it just goes behind the folder. Tried a dozen times with different apps and only ever takes 2 per folder.

Just tried again and it let me do 4! Then the 5th just goes into its own folder and cant be added.

Here is a clip showing it happening

Thank you so much! A video speaks a million words and yours helped me to instantly identify what's causing this.

What happens is that when you remove apps from a folder until one is left, that app remains as a folder, and currently this launcher doesn't allow you to drag one folder over another.

A workaround is to tap that "folder" and drag that last app out from its "folder", into the other folder you want it to be in.

A fix for this is planned, thanks for highlighting this confusing behaviour ;)
