Description

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.

Research direction
The issue requests a playlist feature for Plash, a macOS app that displays websites as wallpaper. The current codebase likely uses Swift and AppKit/SwiftUI. A comment from the maintainer suggests exploring implementation ideas. To start, review the existing Plash architecture, particularly how URLs are loaded and displayed. Look for files related to window management and URL handling. The playlist should allow multiple URLs with duration settings, order options (sequential or random), and per URL preferences like dark mode. There is no existing PR or assignee, so this is open for discussion and initial research.
