Standby!
Sorry I forgot to break it down into smaller logs…
Standby now supports many new features.
- Full plugin spec
Now the plugins for the app are no longer just HTML files. There is now a structure to the plugin zip files with support for customization of the plugin itself (ie changing accent colors, turning features on/off) that is reflected in the UI. - Remote plugin uploading
Instead of having to send the plugin to your phone, you can now enable a lightweight HTTP server where you can upload plugin files directly from your computer! - Better security
With the full plugin spec, there is now a whitelist for the allowed domains and phone sensor APIs [note this still needs to be tested further and needs a UI when the user imports a plugin] - Side by side layout
Now the app supports putting 2 half sized plugin next to each other, similar to iOS’s StandBy implementation. You can also have many different panels of plugins. - OLED burn-in protection
Since the app displays a static screen for most of the time, I have added in an OLED protection feature that turns off very other pixel and alternates it to reduce burn it (user configurable, can turn off up to ~83% of the pixels, though it is very dim).Also, for phones supporting lower refresh rates, there is now an option to force the app to the lowest refresh rate when idle. - Better UI
The old version had no animations and was pretty ugly in terms of UI. Now, the different buttons are animated and disappear when the app is idle. The UI now follows the phone’s colors.
