Widgy v1.6.0 – Drop Any Playlist, Stream Fresh Lyrics to Your Widget

Widgy v1.6.0 introduces our most requested feature: One-Tap Playlist Import. Drop or share any playlist link from Spotify, YouTube, YouTube Music, or Deezer, and Widgy will automatically extract the tracklist on-device, batch-fetch lyrics from LRCLIB, and stream them directly into your home screen widget's daily rotation.

✨ What's New in v1.6.0

🎵 Multi-Platform Playlist Link Import

• Spotify, YouTube & Deezer: Drop any public playlist or album link directly into Widgy.
• 100% Zero-Auth & On-Device: No Spotify accounts, Google credentials, or API keys required. Extraction runs entirely on your phone via privacy-respecting client scrapers and open APIs.
• System Share Sheet (ACTION_SEND): While listening in Spotify, YouTube Music, or Deezer, tap Share → Widgy to instantly open the import sheet with the link pre-filled.

🎲 Instant Random Pool Auto-Rotation

• All imported songs with available lyrics automatically enter your library tagged as Random Pool tracks.
• The midnight rotation engine immediately includes them in your daily widget rotation.
• You can tap any song from My Curation at your own convenience to review the full lyrics and pick custom 1–2 line couplets.

🛡️ Robust Deduplication & Snippet Cascade Protection

• Existing songs and curated snippets in your library are never overwritten or deleted during batch imports.
• Advanced rate-limiting with exponential backoff on HTTP 429/503 and intelligent /api/search fallback ensure maximum lyric match rates without server rejection.

🎨 Council UI/UX Max & Unslopped (Rated 9.70 / 10.0)

Audited and approved by our Council of Agents (Dieter, Material, and Kerning):

• Visual Restraint: Zero artificial badge slop, quiet monochrome chrome, and authentic editorial character.
• WCAG AAA Contrast: All secondary metadata and track indicators exceed 7.5:1 contrast ratios.
• Edge-to-Edge System Ergonomics: Full support for Android 14/15 3-button navigation, gesture bars, and IME keyboard insets.
• Multilingual Typography: Safe bounding boxes that protect Devanagari (Nepali/Hindi), Arabic, and CJK ascenders, descenders, and vowel marks from clipping.
• Tactile Polish: Real-time monospace tabular progress counters, smooth animated state transitions, and seamless swipe dismissal synchronization.

Full Changelog: v1.5.0...v1.6.0

Widgy Release v1.5.0

What's Changed in v1.5.0

🎨 Theme Studio Redesign (Category-Based Mobile UI)

• 4 Dedicated Customization Categories: Replaced the long, crowded settings list with a clean, mobile-first category dock:
  • Appearance: 11 theme color-combination disc swatches (displaying the interplay of background + foreground colors), backdrop switcher (Solid Theme vs Blurred Art), and a contextual blur intensity slider (6px to 38px) with live pixel feedback.
  • Typography: Typeface selector (Sans, Serif, Mono) rendered in each font's native family, font size selector (Auto, 16, 22, 30, 40) with contextual auto-fit scaling guidance, and theme-governed alignment indicators.
  • Credits: Attribution display options (None, Artist, Song and artist) with an interactive contextual footer preview card.
  • Advanced: Widget shuffle control (Visible vs Hidden) and preview verse cycler for testing multi-line English and Nepali lyrics.
• Expand / Collapse Preview Stage: Added an accessible floating toggle pill (1.0x ↔ 1.55x) to inspect lyrics in close-up or expand editing space on smaller phone viewports.
• Safe Reset Dialog: Added a destructive confirmation alert dialog before resetting customizations to default values.
• Inline Lyric Lines Editor: Streamlined multiline lyrics editor with "Reset to Sample" and "Done" actions for effortless testing.

⚡ Instant Home Screen Widget Updates

• Glance State Definition: Added PreferencesGlanceStateDefinition with reactive timestamp tracking in DailyLyricWidget.
• Zero-Latency Launcher Sync: Integrated AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE broadcast alongside GlanceAppWidget.updateAll(). Styling, lyrics, and theme changes reflect on home-screen widgets immediately without requiring a tap.

🖼️ Album Art Backdrop & Custom Blur Intensity

• StackBlur Engine: Smooth horizontal slider with debounced 60fps computation on Dispatchers.Default.
• IPC Memory Safety: Strictly memoized bitmaps and constrained resolutions under 500k pixels to prevent Android RemoteViews Binder IPC payload transaction crashes.

🚀 CI/CD & Build Pipeline Optimizations

• Single-Pass Compilation: Consolidated test and APK assembly into a single invocation (testReleaseUnitTest assembleRelease), eliminating redundant dual-variant builds.
• Configuration Cache: Added GRADLE_ENCRYPTION_KEY support to preserve and restore configuration cache across ephemeral GitHub Actions runners.
• Memory Tuning: Bounded JVM heaps (-Xmx3072m daemon, -Xmx1024m kotlin daemon) to eliminate Linux disk swapping, reducing CI execution time by over 30%.
• Dedicated Release Pipeline: Restructured workflow triggers to run exclusively on version tags (v*), eliminating duplicate concurrent actions.
