Dunno if anyone is reading this, but just in case...  I hope to have some time to work on it tonight, assuming I do, and I get it to a semi finished state; does anyone here want to help beta test it for me?

When you tap a widget instead of refreshing it opens a fly out window with additional info and has a refresh button there in case you want to manually refresh.
