As an avid HN user I wanted to have a simple widget showing me the top links shared on here, I also wanted to experiment for the first time with WidgetKit, this is what I came up with.
HNWidgets is open source and offers a simple widget in three different sizes (medium, large, extra-large). You can choose between different HN lists to fetch links from and how frequently the widget should refresh its content.
It's currently being rolled out on the App Store so the link in the README might still not work for some people.
Hope you find it useful!
