Heb12 online API

[MasterOfTheTiger]

A big planned feature for Heb12 Desktop version 0.4.0 is the ability to interact with our own openbibles online API for both retrieving the text like the NET API and downloading new Bible translations from the server. This would enable us to keep most translations out of the main program when we distribute it. That way we are not wasting space with translations people do not want. This is especially important as we localize the application for other languages, as someone who only speaks French will not need the Bible in English, or vice versa.

Some of the things which it requires:

• OpenBibles version online
• API for downloading translations
• Server to host API
• Support for writing and retrieving files on the user's hard drive
• Support dynamic supported translations and information (not all translations will be available to Heb12 Desktop all the time)

The writing and retrieving files and the downloading translations can all be done through Python. If you want, I can draft a Python script to read and write translations from an online API. We also don't really need a server since we can load everything through GH pages.

@amazinigmech2418 A server is important for some other server-side stuff we need to keep things running smoothly. Don't worry, the code will be AGPL and publicly available for anyone to install on a server and let people connect their Heb12 installation to that one instead.
