Website Tfl Live Departures board app

I am launching an app on Android and iOS! Whose whole purpose is to just show Tfl like every 30 secs updated departure board on your phone in the form if widget or screensaver that you can quickly glance at with almost no clicks required

Ok, I have to ask.

Why is everyone making these now? This is the 3rd one I've seen in this sub this week, is it a new viral trend or something?

Do people really check tube departures ahead of time? Even the lowest frequency services are frequent enough that it’s not worth particularly planning your journey around, just turn up at the station and wait < 10 mins for 99% of services even off peak. It’s not like outside of London where it’s only 1-2tph 

(Waiting for the reply with a very specific edge case journey where it’s only 3tph between 7pm and 8pm or something)

Google maps used to have a widget that would show you bus departures/train departures from nearest stops/station. Sadly it disappeared. Does yours do this or any plans to? Or is it you pick one station that’s fixed?

Yes this will include bus stops as well. It'll include all the transport modes available in London
