SignalK App Switcher #

What does it do ##

This app offers a touchscreen-optimized navigation frame with icons for quickly switching between pre-configured webapps. Each webapp is loaded when the App Switcher is loaded, and its state is preserved even when another app is selected. This is especially helpful when running on lower performance hardware like a single board computer, as the initialization of a webapp can be very slow.
* Icons for instruments, chart plotter, autopilot, SignalK server and music player
* URLs can be configured by the user via the plugin config in SignalK server
* Fullscreen mode scales to various display sizes
* Day/night mode triggered by SK environment.mode state

* Install from the SignalK Appstore.
* Go to the plugin's configuration to check the URLs for webapps. The defaults are KIP, Freeboard, SignalK autopilot, SK server dashboard, Mopidy/Iris. Make sure the hostname of your SignalK server is correct.
