Twidget v1.2.0-beta.2

The second Twidget 1.2 beta makes Your Brief more consistent and useful, reconciles
Buffer posts after their scheduled time, improves widget typography, and adds
proactive update and Top Followers notifications.

Added

• Added six-hour background update checks with a notification that shows the
  available version and offers Remind me later and Install now actions.
• Added a Google Sans Flex option to the Your Brief widget alongside
  One UI Sans.
• Added background bridge syncing for opted-in Top Followers rankings and a
  notification when a new follower enters the highest-ranked results.

Changed

• Your Brief now writes sentence-case dashboard headings, expanded-page titles,
  grammatically correct subheadings, and a separate concise description for
  the dashboard card and home-screen widget.
• Refined Your Brief cards with clearer follower context, correctly routed schedule
  and composer actions, exact goal progress and remaining-follower copy, and
  more useful names and explanations for posting and scheduling guidance.
• Prioritized tweet insights by engagements, impressions, likes, quote tweets,
  and retweets; quote tweets and retweets are now reported separately instead
  of being combined as shares.
• Changing Your Brief content categories now regenerates the next brief and excludes disabled categories and their schedule data from the refresh.
• Reworked Your Brief and Followers widget typography with accurate variable-font
  weights, improved heading spacing, responsive two-line descriptions,
  body text on narrower tall widgets, and vertically centred one-row layouts.
• Moved follower-change context out of the chart card so the page summary and
  follower card no longer repeat the same sentence.
• Improved Top Followers refresh, rescan confirmation, empty-state guidance,
  bridge-backed daily ranking updates, and server/client sync behavior.

Fixed

• Scheduled Buffer posts are now treated as published once their scheduled time
  passes, moved below upcoming posts and drafts, and removed from upcoming Brief
  content unless Buffer reports a real publishing error or the post is known not
  to be live.
• Fixed follower-goal editing so typed values work with or without grouping
  commas and do not have to match one of the picker presets.
• Fixed release-note Markdown so source-wrapped paragraphs and list items flow
  naturally, with continuation lines aligned beneath the list text.
• Fixed truncated or repetitive Brief summaries, including singular follower
  grammar, and kept dashboard/widget descriptions to a useful two-line length.
• Raised debug-build version codes above the corresponding beta build so debug
  APKs can be installed over the latest beta without a downgrade error.

Twidget v1.2.0-beta.1

Twidget 1.2 introduces Twidget Brief, richer goals and history, and a more
personal visual experience across phones, tablets, foldables, and widgets.

Added

• Added Twidget Brief, a local-first personal guide that prioritizes account
  changes, post performance, milestones, scheduled posts, and useful next
  actions. Supported devices can refine Brief cards with on-device Gemini Nano.
• Added Brief settings, content controls, diagnostics, refresh behavior, and a
  dedicated Brief home-screen widget with responsive card, square, strip, and
  compact layouts.
• Added milestone goals, daily streaks, longer-range chart history, and a
  browsable Top Followers experience from the dashboard.
• Added official X API follower scans for users who provide compatible
  credentials, alongside the existing TwitterAPIs flow.
• Added bridge-owned Top Followers scans for opted-in accounts, with durable
  progress, full-list reuse, pagination, cost controls, and automatic expiry.
• Added wallpaper-derived and custom app palettes, including controls for
  accent, surface tint, and intensity.
• Added richer schedule link previews and improved thread composition controls.

Changed

• Brief cards now rank by current relevance, retain generated responses, and
  adapt into independent columns on larger screens.
• Refined the Brief launch, onboarding, guide, headings, hero, settings, and
  widgets to make useful content visible sooner and navigation more direct.
• Polished dashboard milestones, analytics explanations, Top Followers
  browsing, and tweet composition interactions.
• Matched the Streak card to the standard smaller one-column card dimensions.

Fixed

• Hardened Gemini Nano model selection with stable defaults, compatibility
  handling, automatic fallback, caching, and clearer loading diagnostics.
• Prevented overdue Buffer posts from appearing as upcoming Brief items.
• Fixed Brief card ordering, missing editorial summaries and section headings,
  widget rendering, large-screen tiling, and launch-transition regressions.
• Improved Top Followers scrolling and corrected several icon, theme, and
  palette details across light and dark appearances.

Twidget v1.1.1

Twidget 1.1.1 moves scheduled publishing to Buffer, makes Top Followers scans
more resilient and accessible, and improves onboarding and adaptive layouts
across phones, tablets, and launchers.

Added

• Added an included, rate-limited TwitterAPIs trial for one Top Followers scan
  per account each day. Personal keys in Advanced settings take priority and
  remove Twidget's daily limit.
• Participating shared-history installs can reuse trusted completed Top
  Followers rankings when the same account is added elsewhere.
• Added a dedicated onboarding permissions step for notifications and exact
  reminders before account setup.
• Buffer drafts and scheduled posts can attach local images and videos, with
  Twidget securely hosting the media before Buffer publishes it.
• The native composer now uses Android's active keyboard for spell checking,
  autocorrection, and word suggestions.
• Drafts can be pinned with quick actions, a long-press context menu, and bulk
  pin, unpin, and delete selection mode.
• Added initial Samsung Modes and Routines support for refreshing Twidget
  statistics on compatible Galaxy devices.

Changed

• Replaced Postpone cloud scheduling and API-key onboarding with Buffer OAuth,
  encrypted refresh-token rotation, connected X-channel mapping, and
  Buffer-backed draft and schedule syncing.
• Long-running Top Followers scans now continue as foreground work after the
  app leaves the screen and show progress through Android Live Updates on
  supported devices.
• Redesigned scheduled-post cards with clearer dates and actions, more readable
  post text, and responsive media thumbnails.
• Kept the shared-history choice in initial onboarding only, so adding another
  account cannot accidentally change the install-wide privacy setting.
• Reorganized the Android source tree for clearer feature ownership and easier
  maintenance.
• Prepared Play Store distribution with Android 16 targeting and signed App
  Bundles for debug, beta, and stable release workflows.

Fixed

• Hardened Buffer request throttling, media synchronization, refresh-token
  handling, and background schedule updates.
• Buffer publishing now sends a confirmation after a successful post and a
  detailed notification when publishing fails.
• Buffer refreshes now preserve per-item media added to X threads and use
  Buffer thumbnails for reliable in-app previews.
• Made Top Followers scans resumable and more reliable when the app is
  backgrounded or interrupted.
• Restricted shared Top Followers ranking publication to authenticated,
  server-side publishers so public clients cannot replace cached results.
• Kept Scheduling scoped to the account selected in the drawer, including
  queue filtering, Buffer channel selection, and newly composed posts.
• Limited imported scheduling media to 100 MiB and delete partial private
  copies when a provider omits or misreports the file size.
• Prevented cancelled Top Followers scans from committing an in-flight page,
  promoted scans to foreground work immediately, and validated nonexistent
  handles during onboarding.
• Improved adaptive dashboard layouts, chart spacing, widget sizing, and
  blank-state handling across phones, tablets, and non-One UI launchers.

Minor release. Improvements to scheduling, top followers and laying groundwork for future updates.

Changed

Twidget v1.1.0-beta.1

First beta of Twidget 1.1, focused on scheduled publishing, richer analytics, release notices, and more reliable widgets across launchers.

Added

• A complete scheduling workspace with calendar and agenda views, local reminder notifications, Postpone integration, drafts, account mapping, and recovery after reboot.
• A native One UI composer for single tweets and threads, including media attachments, camera capture, date and time selection, character limits, a dedicated Draft action, and publish checklists.
• Detailed X Analytics CSV imports covering followers, impressions, engagements, likes, bookmarks, shares, replies, reposts, profile visits, posts, video views, and media views.
• Import validation against trusted snapshots, honest gaps for unavailable data, diagnostic rejection messages, and blending of verified imports into dashboard cards and averages.
• Configurable analytics cards and range-aware insights surfaced directly on the dashboard.
• An in-app Notices feed backed by GitHub Releases, with prerelease labels, offline caching, unread indicators, changelog previews, and full in-app release notes.
• Automatic update checks when the app launches, respecting the selected stable or beta release channel.

Changed

• Scheduling now uses native One UI calendar, card, switcher, pop-over, floating-toolbar, and composer patterns throughout.
• The composer header is shorter, with a plain Draft action beside the contained Save action.
• Analytics remain embedded in the dashboard; the redundant standalone Analytics page and drawer entry were removed.
• Notices are now a toolbar action with an orange unread dot; redundant drawer and About-page entries were removed.
• Home-screen widgets render to the exact launcher-provided size while preserving artwork proportions, including on non-One UI launchers.
• Private-account analytics now explain their limited availability instead of presenting incomplete data without context.
• GitHub release workflows now place these human-written notes before generated commit and pull-request links.

Fixed

• Fixed blank or incorrectly sized widgets on non-One UI launchers and prevented artwork from stretching or cropping at unusual launcher dimensions.
• Fixed analytics imports that contain untracked follower removals while continuing to reject genuinely inconsistent histories.
• Restored analytics-import shortcuts and kept the import action available from the account menu.
• Fixed dashboard card touch feedback, chart interactions, and drawer avatar tint persistence.
• Fixed scheduling switcher expansion, composer token highlighting, floating chrome insets, and several light-theme notice/composer surface artifacts.

Full Changelog: twidget-v1.0.0-beta.1...twidget-v1.1.0-beta.1

Twidget v1.0.0-beta.1

First public release of Twidget, an X/Twitter follower dashboard and Samsung One UI widget app. Rebuilt from the One UI blur widget demo into a follower tracker.

Added

• Follower dashboard for followers, following, posts, likes, and recent post analytics, with local history and One UI metric charts.
• Four data sources with automatic fallback: direct FxTwitter, the shared bridge, a self-hosted bridge, and the official X API using your own credentials called directly from the device.
• Direct FxTwitter weekly analytics, so FxTwitter mode does not depend on the bridge for dashboard analytics or post media.
• Three-step One UI onboarding: app intro, X handle entry with the shared-history opt-in, and widget setup. X API credentials are configured in Advanced options instead.
• Home-screen widgets in compact strip, 2x1, square, and large sizes with tint, opacity, colour mode, logo, font, and per-widget account options.
• Samsung lock-screen and AOD widgets (1x1 and 2x1) with monotone rendering.
• Multiple tracked accounts with a default-account star selector and long-press delete; widgets pinned to a deleted account revert to the default.
• Background refresh on a configurable interval (15–240 minutes) via WorkManager, plus refresh-on-launch.
• Included the optional FxTwitter/Rettiwt bridge/ Node service for self-hosting and pooled history.
• Bridge smoke tests and CI checks for security defaults, authentication, syntax, and dependency vulnerabilities.
• Eighteen deterministic Android tests for provider fallback, analytics filtering/pagination, history migration, metric provenance, official-X likes handling, encrypted credential envelopes, and update-channel version selection.
• Hidden debug menu, unlocked by tapping the version in About seven times: rerun onboarding, a dummy profile with an editable follower count for widget testing, and a log of bridge traffic.

Changed

• Hardened the bridge with bounded rate-limit/cache state, expensive-route budgets, upstream concurrency limits, duplicate request coalescing, stale-cache fallback, optional token enforcement, security headers, and shorter HTTP timeouts.
• Limited pooled-history registration and stopped ordinary profile lookups from silently creating persistent accounts.
• Disabled Wayback amplification, client history uploads, public official-X proxying, and bridge OAuth by default; each now requires an explicit opt-in.
• Background refresh now includes every tracked account, not only the default and widget-pinned accounts.
• FxTwitter analytics now follows bounded pagination and labels capped or cyclic results as sampled instead of presenting a partial set as complete.
• API credentials and cached bearer tokens migrate from plaintext preferences to Android Keystore-backed AES-GCM storage.
• Split bridge configuration: the shared Twidget bridge is fixed and token-free, while a self-hosted URL and token live in their own Advanced options section and are used only when that source is selected.
• Sharing history is now the bridge opt-in for FxTwitter mode — with it off, the app talks to FxTwitter only, with no bridge fallback.
• Advanced options shows each source in its own section with a live status row and an info dialog behind an (i) button.
• Replaced unmanaged background threads with a bounded executor and lifecycle/request guards so saturated or stale work cannot leave the UI or widgets loading indefinitely.
• Added optional PostgreSQL history persistence plus Redis-backed shared limits, caches, registration budgets, and scheduled-job locks for multi-replica bridge deployments.
• Added bridge history retention/deletion controls, an operator-only deletion endpoint, and per-metric provenance through JSON and PostgreSQL storage.

Fixed

• Prevented demo follower counts from appearing as real data after onboarding or when a cached profile is incomplete.
• Preserved legitimate no-change history days during migration and normalized bridge day timestamps across time zones.
• Fixed high-resolution profile-image query rewriting and avoided repeated compatibility-route waits after non-404 bridge failures.
• Prevented the official X provider from recording a false zero likes count when X omits that metric.
• Prevented unavailable historical metrics from becoming known zeroes, while preserving legitimate observed zero values.
• Removed the onboarding widget preview's hard-coded follower delta; unknown movement is no longer displayed as an invented gain.
