[feature] option to start on Trip Explorer #4

Open draustus opened 6 years ago

draustus commented 6 years ago

I use Caltrain for my work commute, so being able to open the app and have it start on the Trip Explorer, and also have the option to save my from and to locations would be really nice.

i like the idea of saving from/to locations. i would have to think about how to make it work in the UI first though.

i've debated about what home screen to default to. the map allows you in one click see what are the upcoming trains to the closest stop to you. the explorer though gives you more control over planning.

have you tried the home screen widget? it lets you save a from/to widget if you are ok with widgets.

cc @ekeitho who has also been helping me think about these ideas.

I don't usually use widgets, but I'll give this one a shot! Also, the widget is titled "Example Widget", maybe change to "Schedule"?

I use a different station than the one closest to me since it has more trains stop there, one reason I wanted to be able to override the location-based method.
