Not all apps will actually load widgets (games won't for example) so your stuff won't run in the background in that case. I'll be working to modify more apps to make them load widgets where it is sensible to though.
I could see a runtime option of the platform: app running w/ and app running w/o widgets controlled by the app by providing a particular property or function/method.
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
