Plug-in architecture for Streamlit

See original GitHub issue

Problem

It would be nice if users could create their own plugins for Streamlit without forking the repo.

This issue has also come up in the community forums.

Starting point for the discussion

I think it would be cool if the basic approach was to simply write a react component in pure jsx and then run it through a Streamlit compiler, e.g.

streamlit compile my_widget.jsx

which would produce a wheel file (e.g. my_widget-VERSIONN-py2.py3-none-any.whl)

which could be pip installed or uploaded to pypi.

Rather important is also to have the ability to write very customized widgets that are part of a project - i.e. they are not installed separately via pip. So besides the suggestion to compile an JSX file to a wheel, it would be nice to have the ability to directly load the JSX file so that it is compiled on load.
