Widgets followed the dashboard's trip only, which is the one under way, so a
packing list or to-dos for a trip still being planned could not sit on the
home screen. The trip, today, bookings, to-dos, packing and group widgets now
take a trip in Edit Widget (an AppIntent with the trips running or ahead,
Automatic by default, which keeps following the dashboard); the world map
needs none.
- The app writes a snapshot per trip running or ahead (at most six, the
dashboard's order) and the list to pick from, under their own keys
(feature widgetTrips, so an older binary never mistakes one for the
dashboard's); bags, chat and polls are kept ten minutes, covers per trip
- The widget extension targets iOS 17, which configurable widgets need; the
apps are not released, so no installed widget goes away
- The choices and their texts in the 28 languages of the gallery
- Packing: a ring of what is in the bags, each bag against its weight limit,
the items still missing in their bag's colour, a nudge when departure is
two days or less away
- World map: the world as dots from the Atlas country shapes
(WorldGrid.swift, generated by WidgetPreviews/make-world-grid.py), the
visited countries glowing, the latest one ringed, continents as bars and
the latest countries with their flags; it needs no trip
- Travel group: who comes along as avatars, the latest chat messages as
bubbles and the open poll with its votes as bars
- The to-dos widget is about to-dos only; the packing ring moved out
The app sends the bags, the Atlas countries (an hour's cache) and the chat
and poll with the snapshot; all optional, as before.
- Names and descriptions of the four widgets in TREKWidgets/<lang>.lproj for
the 28 languages the app speaks, linted with the other property lists
- The preview renderer draws a cover photo state too, and the lock-screen
accessories as the system does, without a box of their own
