Upcoming Launches panel template

Rocket launches first, but it counts down to anything with a schedule: game releases, movie premieres, keynotes, album drops, Kickstarter deliveries, conferences and app releases. The next one gets a big countdown; the next few line up under it.

How to read it: the big number counts down to the next launch, the gold line fills as it gets closer, and the rows under it are the next few, soonest first. A month-only date shows as a window (NET), never a guessed countdown.

The prompt

This is the "Upcoming Launches" template from Widget Index. Keep it a Upcoming Launches panel, titled "Upcoming Launches" unless I ask for a different name. Before you build it, ask me only about the parts marked [ask me], one short question at a time, in plain words that fit a Upcoming Launches panel, with two or three concrete options each time. Skip anything you can work out yourself or that has an obvious default. Then build it.

Build me a panel on my Home called "Upcoming Launches".

What it shows: a countdown list of what's launching next in [ask me: what's launching]. First, one sentence with the headline (like "Aurora 2 lifts off in 2 days, 6 hours"). Then the next launch as the hero: its name, a live countdown in days and hours, and its date and local time. Under it, the next [ask me: how many] after that, soonest first, each with [ask me: details for each]. Only include [ask me: which ones count]. If a date is only a month or a window, say so ("NET November") instead of counting down to a guess.

Where the data lives: [ask me: where the schedule lives]. Read only: never buy, preorder, back or sign up for anything. If a source needs a sign-in, ask me to connect it.

Look: make the face of the panel the design, not a list of numbers. The hero is the next launch: a small gold "NEXT" tag with its name, then a huge countdown split into days, hours and minutes, each with a tiny label under it, and a thin gold line that fills as the date gets closer. Below the countdown, the next few as quiet rows on a thin vertical track: a gold dot for the soonest, faint dots for the rest, the name on the left and the date on the right. Under the visual, one short insight line that tells me what matters right now (like "2 launches this week, 1 slipped a day"), with a dot colored by urgency: green fine, gold needs attention, red act now. Dark background, gold #DEAB42 accent, small title. One visual and one insight on the face; any extra detail (the full list, slips since last refresh, links) goes below it, never on top.

Rhythm: refresh [ask me: how often], no faster than hourly. Re-check the source each time and keep only current values; never invent one. When a date moves, update the countdown and note the slip. Drop anything that has already happened.
Use: glance; open the launch or release page.
