Either way works for me.

Even a way to title the widget
(i'm not certain in your comment on uservoice whether you are titling the widget or the destination)

Two people at drexel have already seen it and asked where I got it. I'm pretty sure that one of them installed it .

Go you.

Thanks Mat for the succinct description of the "development" process Dashcode inflicts. I have the same feelings about it you do....it's kind of like halfway between a text editor and and IDE, with a few bits of crippled functionality just to shit you. After using it for a while I was left with a question: Who's it for?
It's too complex for end users and tinkerers, but it's not flexible or well-designed enough for proper coders. mmmm.

Glad you like it!

I have a feature request pretty similar to that here:
http://iseptatrainview.user...

Do you think that'd cover it? Rather than a custom name like "Home" I may just take the destination name from iSepta and display that at the bottom or top of the widget.

In a word, Awesome.

One tiny feature request..... tell me which direction the train is going (or where it's departing from)
Really useful for us laptop users that check isepta (now this widget) from both home and work.

anything that builds on iSepta is a great idea in my book. Lucky for me, I take the R7 Levittown to Suburban, which is rarely late. However, if I want to take the R3 Yardley to Suburban, which is ALWAYS late, this will be handy dandy.
