even though you set tags you basically access everything through typing?

I have thee tags come up in a windows screen in the lower right corner. I guess since Windows 3.11 for Workgroups was my first OS I can't turn my back on the windows environment completely. πŸ™‚

Thanks . Tried it out but the widget I Wowz 'Current 2' does not display the barometric reading when I place on home screen.

Only displays two of 4 meausurements on that particular widget.

The measurements I would like displayed on my weather widget are

  1. Barometric Pressure
  2. Relative Humidity
  3. Dew Point
  4. UV Index
  5. Air Quality
  6. Basic measurements like temp, wind speed, etc.
  7. Severe weather alert indicator

Bonus would be precipitation chance percentage. When Ilookeed through WEOWOW options didn't see one where I could customize to get my list of wants on one or twowidgets setup.

I am willing to pay as in one time payment for this weather widget.

KISS launcher

Especially when pairing it with the Panels App

KISS has a small footprint is very fast and really makes my smartphone experience super efficient. I toggle minimalistic on, change search engine to Brave/DuckDuckGo, set my six most used apps as favorites which then show as icons at home screen bottom, assign tags to shortcuts such as favorite websites or tools such as compass, barometer, speed meter, distance calculator, etc.

You can have a tag category show up as a window from the bottom right settings menu.

Kiss also has a very effective search component. Literally the only scrolling needed will be doom scrolling on ones favorite social media app.

Widget functionality could be better but can be supplemented by said Panels app.

I have used hundreds of Android Apps since my first smartphone around 10 years ago and KISS is my most favorite of all (open source or regular) due to how its impacted how I use my phone.

Start at the very top press and hold both fingers and follow through all the way to the bottom.

Basically follow through the motion all way to bottom OR swipe with both to at least mid screen and then flick downward with momentum. Can't see why it wouldn't work for your phone πŸ€”

OK after more digging they are called Progressive Web Apps (PWA'S)

Now that I found proper term I am getting many results.

I stumbled upon a useful website but come to find out its also a web app?!

The domain is .app. So what is cool is I was able to create its own entry in my phones app list by clicking the add to Home Screen button on Firefox.

My question is where can I find a website with lists of these with categories even

I didn't have much success with search engine queries. Thanks!.

Same. Do you use the tag feature? I have put it to good use after some tweaking. I won't be able to live without KISS either going forward.
