Have you had much experience with the scriptable app?

No it was the first time I created a widget with Scriptable but the API is very straightforward.
I plan to publish another article in the next few days on how to create iOS widgets with Scriptable if you are interested in that.

In would be very interested! I found the Scriptable app last week but was intimidated to code on the phone. Are you able to develop on a desktop?

The answer is it depends, when you use macOS you can use the Scriptable Mac Beta to code on desktop. Another solution could be the iCloud sync of Scriptable --> edit the script on your desktop inside the iCloud folder and test the automatic synced script on your iPhone (never tested the second solution myself)

Thankfully I develop on a Mac! I will have to try that beta app out, thanks!

It took a while because I had a few stressful weeks but now the article is finally ready.
