slide generators

[blahah]

in addition to being able to create cards from scratch, and import them from external slide sources, a third option should be available: slide generators.

These work by using a template and some data source, which could be a remote API or a user-provided file, to generate slides.

There should be a general framework for creating and using generators.

Perhaps a sub goal for this is getting the template slides concept completed.

Related but separate organisation level question: Should the generators be a separate sidewinder project/repo? We've got the library/command line repo, the app repo. Is generators, and something - some server or bot or daemon that runs them and adds the slides to a database - a separate application to the lib/cmdline and the app? Perhaps we are approaching a holy sharing trinity.

Good point about the template setup, I think that should be a separate issue.

potentially each generator could be a separate project to allow people to pick and choose which ones they want to install, like installing atom packages or something

Oh God yes! It would be so cool to do slidewinder generators list or
sidewinder generators run or this kind of thing. Where it can install,
remove, start, and stop them!
