Playlist

Users might want to show multiple URLs, one after the other. Kinda like a slideshow.

I imagine we would have a window where you could add multiple URLs and set how long each URL would be shown for. The user would also be able to choose if the playlist is shown in order or random. The user would also be able to set custom preferences like dark mode, etc, per URL.

I'm open to ideas on how this should work. And share your use-case if you need something like this.

Ahh, this would be amazing! My desktop right now is set to https://gitstalk.netlify.app/thatrobotdev where I can see at a glance my recent activities on GitHub, and I really take a glance when I'm bored.

I play a videogame called Kind Words (lo fi chill beats to write to), that is basically a game where you anonymously write out your concerns and emotions in a request for letters, and you can browse concerns and write letters to others for support. Kind Words has a feature where you can look at a personalized notification webpage to see if you have any unread letters, without opening the game back up. This would be a really nice website to see at a glance, as I don't need to see it all of the time.

With both of these in a slideshow, I would be able to see at a glance information that I wouldn't need to respond to right at the moment.

For me, the perfect implementation of the feature would allow me to schedule which websites turn on when, so that I could have my gitstalk page on in the morning when I am coding, and my Kind Words page on in the night when I am writing or hanging out.

You can now add multiple websites to Plash. Automatic slideshow of these websites is not yet implemented though. However, you can manually switch between the websites.

Plash is now scriptable so someone could easily implement automatic switching with a small Bash script or something.
