Refresh the README with current Skip screenshots and a UI walkthrough

[mairas]

The README still showed Skip through Kip-era screenshots, and it described
almost none of the interaction model that the two projects no longer share.

What changed

Screenshots. Every Kip screenshot is gone, replaced by current Skip
captures. Each one is cropped to the page content — the browser tab strip,
address bar, and the macOS window drop-shadow are removed, and the window's
rounded bottom corners are filled from the adjacent pixels so the images sit
as plain rectangles in both GitHub themes. The Kip boat-install photo
(exterior_user_installs.png) is the one inherited image kept; say the word
and it goes too.

A new "Using Skip" section. The auto-hiding toolbar and how each input
reaches it, the toolbar's contents and menu, page navigation and the Pages
panel, edit mode and the widget action menu (pop-over on tablets and
desktops, bottom drawer on phones), and the two widget-settings tabs. Every
claim is checked against the code rather than carried over.

Widget library. Regenerated against WidgetService, grouped by the four
categories the Add Widget dialog uses. Fifteen registered widgets were
missing from the old list.

Development setup. Rewritten around commands that exist. The global
@angular/cli install is dropped — the npm scripts use the local ng — and
a table maps each npm run script to its ./run equivalent, including
./run ci as the gate to run before pushing.

Removed. The widget sample gallery (the new screenshots already show
those widgets) and the "Key Priorities" list.

Note

Two screenshots show a real rendering defect: the Data Graph and Wind Trends
widgets overlap their header labels with their live values at narrow widths.
Filed as #595. The screenshots ship
as-is rather than being retouched.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

• Updated screenshots and the new “Using Skip” section explain toolbar, navigation, Pages, edit mode, widget actions, and widget settings.
• The regenerated widget library matches the four Add Widget categories.
• Updated development instructions use existing npm run and ./run commands.
• Cropped screenshots remove browser and macOS window chrome. Two screenshots retain a narrow-width rendering defect tracked in issue #595.
• Removed the widget sample gallery and “Key Priorities” list.
• Presents pointer, keyboard, and touch input as equally supported interaction methods.
• Updates the application version from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1.

Review limit reached

@mairas, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 31 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The README was reorganized with expanded usage, widget, feature, and development documentation. The project version was updated from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1 across release metadata.

Changes

Documentation and release update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Usage and layout documentation README.md	The README updates introductory content, navigation, supported layouts, toolbar interactions, page management, editing, and widget configuration guidance.
Feature and development reference README.md	The README expands widget categories, historical data, display modes, remote control, kiosk mode, profiles, complementary components, notifications, and development instructions.
Release version alignment .bumpversion.cfg, VERSION, package.json	The configured, package, and standalone project versions are aligned at 1.4.1.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 19067

The README update is mergeable with owner follow-up for bounded documentation accuracy risks: the phone example may make a known narrow-width rendering defect look intentional, the demo connection instructions may mislead contributors, and Freeboard-SK and Racesteer usage details need clearer current limitations.

In `@README.md`:

image as showing the known limitation, while preserving the surrounding
explanation of full-screen reflow.
- Line 264: Update the Signal K demo server setup sentence in the README to
describe its current authentication and read-only access behavior, including the
access method contributors must use after the redirect to /admin/. Remove the
outdated claim that the demo has no authentication.
- Line 189: Update the Racesteer entry in the README widget catalog to replace
the “BETA” implementation-status label with a concise user-facing description of
its current limitation, while preserving the existing functionality summary.
- Around line 178-179: Update the README entries describing Freeboard-SK and its
pre-installed status to state that the integration is webapp-only and provided
by the separate `@halos-org/skip-freeboard-panel` package. Clarify whether Signal
K distributions install that companion package, so users know when the widget is
available.

[mairas]

Thanks — two of the four are fixed, two I'm declining. Reasoning for each:

Demo server access (README.md:264) — fixed. Confirmed against the live
server: GET https://demo.signalk.org/skServer/loginStatus returns
{"status":"notLoggedIn","readOnlyAccess":true,"authenticationRequired":true,...}
and / now 302s to /admin/. The old sentence claiming no authentication was
wrong. It now says the demo grants anonymous read-only access and no user
session, so Skip boots there as a read-only visitor and cannot save a
configuration — enough to watch live data, not enough to work on anything that
writes.

Freeboard-SK package boundary (README.md:179) — fixed, but not as diagnosed.
The premise is off: Skip's Freeboard-SK widget embeds Freeboard-SK itself,
which Signal K server distributions bundle, so the widget does not depend on
@halos-org/skip-freeboard-panel. That package is the opposite direction — it
registers Skip as a Freeboard plotter extension (a toolbar button opening Skip
in a side panel, plus Wind Steer chart widgets). The real gap is that the README
never mentioned that direction at all, so I added it to Complementary
Components, including that Skip declares the plugin as a dependency and an
app-store install brings it along.

Racesteer (BETA) label (README.md:189) — declining. (BETA) is not a
label the README adds; it is the widget's registered name in WidgetService,
so it is exactly what a user reads in the Add Widget dialog. A catalog that
silently renames a widget is worse than one carrying the caveat. If the label
should go, it should go from the registry first and the README will follow.

Narrow screenshot with the issue #595 defect (README.md:54) — declining.
Deliberate, and called out in the PR description. The maintainer chose to ship
the screenshot unretouched and file the defect rather than crop or omit it, so
the README shows the app as it actually renders today. Removing or relabelling
it is a call to revisit when #595 is fixed.
