Summary

📄🎮📊

This pull request adds a new app for the Tidbyt device, called Runescape, which displays information about items from the Old School Runescape game. The app consists of a manifest file apps/runescape/manifest.yaml and a Starlark script apps/runescape/runescape.star that uses the Tidbyt API modules. The app fetches and caches item data from the Runescape API, and renders it using various layout widgets and base64 encoding.

currently app seems to take ~480-680 ms to load on average. Pushing additional commits/runs could technically make the pixlet check -r runescape pass but I figured it is best to ask. May have to find a way to tweak the get's in get_cachable_data() though I'm not exactly sure how. Really excited about my applet and would love any and all feedback. Thank you all : )

[blakekwehrle]

Just a additional note on that occasionally I see pixlet check -r runescape take as long as a full second to render. I plan to do more and take a peek at the strava applet to see if that helps me crack this.

Hey! The problem is in the HTTP calls taking too long to complete. I think we'll have to nudge up the runtime limit a bit, as there are a few other very reasonable apps failing CI due to it.
