A simple Streamelements addon to automate and simplify widget import and export.
widget.io Extension
The default process requires users to manually copy and paste downloaded code into (or from, if you are a developer) the editor inside Streamelements, which is a very common source of errors.
widget.io enables the user (or the developer) to select a ZIP archive with the source code, and the program will automatically set the widget up. In the same fashion, any custom widget can be automatically downloaded into one single ZIP archive that the developers can then redistribute.
Note: the working part of the extension is a pink button in SE overlay editor, not the extension pop-up in top right toolbar of your browser.
