    Hello everyone

    Do you know a way to display words from a textfile?
    I want them to display randomly from a textfile and change automatically every 15 seconds.

    I tried out the default modules (compliments and helloworld)
    but with helloworld there is no way to refer to a textfile.

    with the compliments module there is a way to refer to a textfile but the words are shown in the exact order as they are in the textfile.

      @Fii as I said over in discord, I don’t think there is a module that does this

      compliments is closest, if you set to random mode
      but that is the default…

          @Fii the code randomizes already… course bigger lists get better results
