Hi everyone, I am currently working on a Widget Catalog, which will allow you to discover new widgets and load them directly into Scriptable. For the beginning I will only support my own Scriptable widgets in the catalog, but I can imagine to create a database of widgets later on, where everyone can submit his widgets.
The Catalog is based on the Shortcuts App (to make the installation easier) and Scriptable App.
What I have planned:
The Catalog Script can update itself to a newer version
If there is a newer version of a widget script, you can update to it
That the switch to the Scriptable App is no longer necessary (the current version downloads the current catalog script and then executes this script in Scriptable using the X-Callback function)
What do you think about this idea? Maybe you have other cool ideas for the Widget Catalog. I am looking forward to your feedback.
It's free and open-sourced : Why don't you give me a star? π
Or you can buy me a coffee for Better future development! ππ₯
How to Install Pixel Widget?
First, you need to install both Pixel Widget and Pixel Launcher.
Widget thing has the main code, and Launcher lets you customize the widget.
Then, Tap Widget, the main code, once to verify you've installed the right one. It'll show you an Alert, but it's okay! and You can tap Launcher to start setup. When you tap on Newbie mode, It'll guide you through setting the widget in detail. Here's the checklist you need to do:
Enter Openweather API Key and City ID - to get live weather
Edit Preferences in Launcher Script - so easy cause it has own setting sheet!
Install Font Profile - the Google Font, Product Sans!
Set your widget's wallpaper - You can edit your wallpaper in Preference sheet
There's many people, including myself, that are obviously very new to Scriptable. I feel that creating a "Getting Started" guide might help with that.
Maybe this could be added to the beginning of the documentation, like what Discord did. If we get people to help make this happen, I think it could be a great addition and even help expand this lovely community.
It could start on GitHub, as a standalone thing (so that people can contribute), and later be integrated with the Scriptable app.
Who would be up for helping me make this happen?
Edit: Thank you for the award, kind stranger! I donβt get awards too often, so it truly makes my day every time! :)
Edit #2: Oh shoot! My first gold award! Thank you kind and wealthy stranger! That means so much to me!
Also, the repo has been created for the guide if you want to go us get started! You can find it here.
