In my opinion, I would rather have a bigger app that used NetworkTables (which I don't think is that big, anyway). I would likely use your app out of convenience at events where I did not want to lug around our full driver station. I don't think I would take the time to maintain code (even if it was useful), that wouldn't be used that often and also wouldn't be able to communicate with the normal DS. Also, by using NetworkTables, you would be working with a thoroughly debugged and reliable protocol. Otherwise, I think its a good idea to have custom indicators and widgets.
