Thanks for the ref, @GoldenChaos!
@GoldenChaos, I'm excited to see how you would handle the new apps!
If it's adding a button to the existing set, maybe could help with that implementation if you want!
This was the initial design of AQT v3 (massive update i'm working on), where the app icon of the current app would show up next to AQT's custom control strip. Was great, but didn't match the 'automatic + mind reading' (app/muscle memory) feel of AQT as users had to always tap that button to show their app controls.
It is, however, implemented with the safari widgets. An additional button shows up which you can open to show controls for the current website It's still in beta, but I've heard it works well so far!
Thanks so much for your inspiring work that started it all, I'm looking forward to your release!
*totally shameless promo ahead, don't look.*
