Hi,
I am planning to revive my effort to create a home-screen widget (android) which show's people's locations with reference to known waypoints (like home, office etc). My earlier PR was closed because the code base was heavily refactored while I was making my changes: https://github.com/owntracks/talk/issues/2, https://github.com/owntracks/android/pull/381.
So now, I want to restart, mostly from scratch, and try to work on current master to add this widget.
Should I add the widget code to the application itself? (this is what I had tried before)
Or should I create a companion app with just the widget, and connect to the Owntracks app using the Messenger IPC interface?
