    EDIT:

    u/neddoge :

    For the record (since it's not even hinted at in the OP), the tool is called Blacklight and it is said to reveal specific trackers on any website (tracking whom is getting your data/where it's going).

    I should have included a short description what this tool is called and what it basically does. I've quoted from a comment below giving you a basic description.

    _

    This is not particularly related to Android, but I do think it's a great tool to use on websites you might visit on a regular basis to keep up on Android news, or for websites that you use to download APK's and other tools that you cannot find on the official Play Store. I figured it would be an informative tool for the Android community, so I wanted to share it.

    I just found out about it myself, from r/internetisbeautiful so here is a link to the post, and a direct link to the website.

    Hopefully, the mods let this through, I really do believe it can be something beneficial to this community.

    Interesting idea for both Android widgets and WearOS

    Posted: 22 Sep 2020 01:56 PM PDT

    So I was just thinking about how to improve widgets on Android and came up with an idea that could create a multifaceted improvement between both Android's widgets and WearOS' complications. Essentially, I think that creating a single API that works concurrently for both platforms could expand the use cases and developer support for both platforms.

    Apps would simply designate specific portions of their application's data sets along with a label of sorts to allow widgets and complications to aggregate the data into 3rd party widgets that are designed for the API and WearOS watch faces that support complications.

    This is more or less how the complications system works on WearOS already but the issue is the market isn't very saturated with WearOS users at the moment. Subsequently, complication support (though fairly simply for app developers to implement) isn't as widespread as it could be. By transposing the complication's system over to widgets on the Android side, application developers would have a significantly larger user base to cater to and would be much more likely to implement the new, cross-platform complication system into their apps.

    This could spark a resurrection in the widget space, with customizable widget apps being much more user friendly as a result. Users creating a custom widget could aggregate data from multiple sources by simply selecting the corresponding activity/complication from a list.

    Some use case ideas I have for this would be to create a "control center" esque widget similar to what iOS offers but with all your own custom complications. Toggling things from different manufacturers simultaneously like smart home switches/routines, wearable toggles (like the battery level/sound profile/ambient sound setting on a pair of wireless headphones), and having data aggregated like your current monthly data plan usage all in one cutomized widget panel would look pretty damn sleek in my opinion. Or maybe a fitness center that combines toggles for workouts, headphone setting, and health tracking data from various different apps/developers all into one widget would be a much cleaner look than having multiple, seperate widgets with varying designs all situated on a single page of your app launcher.

    Much the same, assuming app developers enable this feature for their apps various toggles/data points due to widget support greatly expanding their use case scenarios and general usage overall, WearOS watches would have access to a ton more complications than before! Being able to say, have a watch face that has health data displayed from Google fit, weather data from an app like Dark Sky (yes, I know Dark Sky is gone), and some toggles for headphones (like toggles for ambient sound and enable/disable touch controls for bluetooth headphones like the Galaxy or Pixel buds) on a 3rd party WearOS watchface would be amazingly customizable and offer significantly more options than any other wearable platform does currently (honestly, WearOS is already the best at this). One could use this feature to aggregate their calendar app's next event onto the watchface of their choosing as well!

    What do you guys think? I can't imagine this sort of thing would be too difficult to implement and would be highly customizable for both widgets and complications if done correctly. There could be some conflictions at first (like a complication circle on a watchface being unable to display something like a calendar event, for example) but users could easily just change the setting to something else if an issue of this nature arises!

    Requires Nova launcher at the moment for the voice part, as that's the easiest way I could find to do it. I'm sure there's a way to edit it to avoid this requirement altogether though!
