[FEATURE REQUEST] Additional custom text / api call

[Abba-]

Description

ImmichFrame is basically all I need 98%.
I would love to be able to periodically display additional information a-la dashboard in another corner and customize just like the clock and weather.
Ideally this could be a simple API GET request that it periodically makes and gets plaintext back.

My idea is that ImmichFrame does NOT have to do any logic parsing / calculating -- rather it just updates text the same as it might the clock or the weather.

#477 sounded based on 'live' notifications / photo overrides. While this would be cool also, I'm hoping my idea here is a little more in-bound as it should ™ (in theory) be much more similar logic to the already existing weather. Although a parameter to decide how often to fetch would be great also.

Use Case

Indoor house temperature or other stats from home assistant, sunset/sunrise, next calendar event, maybe custom 'happy birthday mom!' on special days.

Agreed. This has already been requested but thanks for reminding us: #477

Yes I noted #477 in my comments (after edit 😄 ) ... but I think fundamentally its 2 different logic paths and features.
#477 is more update NOW with xyz.
#592 is more add another information bubble in the corner that periodically updates. No additional view or logic needed.

Obviously I recognize some level of overlap -- just trying to be clear over the keyboard 🙃

Ah, ok re-read and now it makes more sense. This is a request for it to GET text periodically, the other is a receiver for text. It would be easier to make it the receiver then you could just set a cron job to update it as needed from your server.
