Me too! The lack of ForeFlight widgets was the reason I started hacking on this, actually.

Love the idea of showing wind direction relative to the phone - one challenge with this is that you're not allowed to do any animation in widgets (for power reasons, I assume?). Hopefully they'll open this up a bit more in the future.

+1 on a runway visualization - it would be really useful to see the crosswind component (life or death for my tailwheel training, haha). Ditto for TAFs and surface analysis.

Thanks for the feedback and feature suggestions!
