Moves.app support

I saw https://github.com/pwaldhauer/elizabeth/issues/24 and thought it'd be a nice complement to existing plugins.

I see some ruby libraries that might be jumping off points:

If someone else doesn't get to it first I may take a crack at this

Well, someone doing this would be great.

What do you think to supporting non-Ruby based plugins though? We could pull in other developers if we had a way of leveraging their existing work.

Big Moves user here, would be a great addition in my opinion. At present I use the share feature in Moves and just share a timeline but very often I forget! Nice to have a record of where I have been each day.

@mrjcleaver I'm not necessarily opposed to it, but I see no overwhelming reason to add it. Ruby is not a difficult language to learn. The core of this is written in Ruby. One of the underlying goals of this project is to require as few external dependencies as possible. By "supporting" additional languages, you basically add those languages as dependencies. If a non-technical user decides to use this tool, and they want one of the non-ruby plugins, they now have to ensure their system supports that language as well (including the appropriate version. e.g. Python2 vs Python3). It raises the entry bar for using this tool.

https://github.com/ankane/moves seems to be the thing to use!

I've started work on this.

I couldn't figure out how to generate an access token, so I just rely on the user generating it using the NodeJS elizabeth project, then manually copying the tokens into the slogger_config
