Developed and delivered a Mullvad VPN Connection Status Widget for the glanceapp/community-widgets repository, focusing on enhancing in-app VPN visibility for users. The widget integrates with Mullvad’s API to fetch and display real-time connection status, IP address, and location, using dynamic UI indicators for clarity. Implementation involved asynchronous data handling, frontend development, and widget componentization, with documentation provided in Markdown and YAML for maintainability and traceability. The work included a preview image and established a foundation for future abstraction to support additional VPN providers, reducing manual status checks and enabling quicker troubleshooting without any major bugs reported during the development period.
