[Feature Request] Pull content from online sources (eg. RSS, JSON, Folders) about superlayer-support HOT 2 CLOSED

I agree with you that widgets should be as dynamic as possible! I had this in mind when designing Superlayer in the first place and it is one of the reasons why I implemented URL Schemes and Key Bindings.

Remote control Text widgets: I’ve added a new URL Scheme that allows to change the actual text of an existing Text widget:
superlayer://updateTextWidget?widgetId=yourIdentifier&text=yourTextValue
The widgetId is a unique identifier for each widget and can be found in the General tab. The text attribute expects a percent encoded String (i.e. Hello%20world).
Being able to call this URL from everywhere gives you maximum freedom.
This will be available in Version 1.0.5 and upwards.

Displaying RSS Feeds: I think this would be a new kind of widget. Here’s a separate feature request to discuss this further.

Image widget with dynamic sources: I do plan to implement a gallery widget that changes images from a given directory automatically in a time interval users can specify.

awesome work, thanks Martin! Can't wait to give 1.0.5 a try as soon as it's out! :)
