Live tiles about plasma-applet-tiledmenu HOT 6 OPEN

Like you want an embedded widget that shows... issues from a github repo? Is there an example Windows Live Tile?

I could possible create a "live tile" if someone dropped the url https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-tiledmenu or https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-tiledmenu/issues onto the menu. I'd need to package everything in the "tiled menu" widget though. It's not really ideal since I'd need to develop every "Live Tile" myself rather than using existing widgets.

To do this properly, i'd need to make my widget a "Containment" like the system tray or the panel, which can "embed" other widgets inside themselves.

I should also reference Issue #10 which is similar.

Yeah, this would be cool to have for sure :) Even it'd be heavy on resources, but maybe a warning could be added when creating a Live Tile ("WARNING: this will likely be heavy on resources" or something)?

Sorry for not clarifying the github part. My understanding is it's really just an RSS feed so I think just implementing an "RSS Tile" would do the trick for a lot of things. I think it would also work for a weather tile as well depending on the API.

A user mentioned the possible concept of an embedded WebView from a locale html file. This would probably be heavy on resources though.

It most likely would be heavy on resources but would be cool to have the option.
