Widget improvements

[FaFre]

As of today, several people reached out to me via mail with some ideas to improve the widget. This issue is to discuss those improvements.

Received feedback for improvement so far:

• Smaller/resizeable widget. Something like Vanadium (browser) does. I like how you do it, but it's a bit too big for my home screen setup. The Assistant and Summarizer could be icons, like the speak icon is:
• I found I stopped using it though because the widget is too tall to fit in my dock. If I could size it to a simple 5x1 bar, I would use it exclusively.

Please feel free to add some more ideas :+1:

I had already warned you by e-mail that I still had some suggestions for improvement. Funnily enough, it actually relates to the widget. ;-)

Here they are:

• I support the idea for a flexible widget. While I have enough space on my tablet, space is very limited on my smartphone. However, I would prefer both "search with kagi" as well as "ask kagi assistant". Maybe three flavors: a combined widget, a search-only widget, and an assistant-only widget.
• I'd appreciate to be able to start the voice input directly from the widget - both for search and for assistant. Currently, I need to tap on the search bar or tap the assistant button. Then it takes me to the app, where I need to push the microphone button. Since the "Search on Kagi" input bar works as a button anyway (it's not possible to enter something directly in the widget), there should be enough space to add a microphone button.

In the next update there will be three different widget sizes available: https://github.com/FaFre/bang_navigator/wiki/Home-Widget

Closing this for now.

No direct voice input for assistant, but still awesome! However, the mic button for search also doesn't work for me.
