💡 FX Builder widget

It would be nice to have also FX Builder as a widget.
It could help with themes that offers insertion of widgets in hero sections of the home page, as example.

I haven't worked with widgets in a million years. I find this feature deprecated. I know there are still themes using it.

I'll leave this open for contributors.

Most of my WP plugins have a simple straightforward widget implementation. That can be used as example. But how to include the FX builder tools into that small widget area in the dashboard?

Don't know if it's too tricky, but maybe a widget with a dropdown of posts and pages where FX Builder is enabled, and then show the content of the selected post/page.

I've a PoC plugin that allows to display a FX Builder page/post in a widget.

If you like it you can grab the code.

The thing about this is that I have no way of testing it, as I have not used widgets in almost a decade. All my themes have widgets disabled by default. Also, I am not happy with the code (personal preference, but OOP is obsolete for me).

@xxsimoxx So, you can create this as an add-on plugin, if you want. If I get more of these, I could create a small add-ons page inside the FX Builder plugin.

Sure, I can make a companion plugin, thank you!
