I did want to have a common API for all pools:

But then I lost interest when Luke stuck his oar in and changed it to something I no longer (or anyone) cared for.
Heh, amazing in just how many places just how much damage one person can cause...

So on the LTC side... litecoinpool.org has a "mobile web" version of its API. Essentially what this does it shows, in a VERY mobile friendly form (just a weblink, no login required) of the stats like hash rate, unearned rewards etc.

I then am able to use the android "meta widget" app to capture this data and put it on my phone as a widget.

this is SO immensely useful and I can't imagine it taking too much effort to implement.

Please pool operators. Do the community a favor and implement a  web-based api viewer for your pools?

(oh, and if there is a generic api-viewer app/website out there, let me know, as some will let you see the raw data in webpage form, but it's a bit more of a pain when not in user-friendly format)

Cheers!
