        @cowboysdude This looks like an awesome module! Unfortunately, upon installation I get “undefined” underneath where it says “Today In History”. I believe I have installed everything properly!

          @dherl0623 Let me check it out :)

          do a git pull to update.

          Don’t forget to run ‘npm install’ from the ~MagicMirror/modules/MMM-History directory :)

                  I’m sorry you had this idea before me. Really, just a great idea for a module. Interesting, informative and fun. :-)

                    Would there be a way to add some sort of faded countdown to when the next fact is going to show? I hate walking up and get halfway through a long one, and them having to wait for it to come back around. First world problems, I know :-P. I am not well versed in Javascript, but I was thinking about maybe reverse engineering the countdown function in this module: https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-VocabularyTrainer

                    Thanks!

                      Simple thing would be to increase rotation time.
                      Default is rotateInterval: 20 * 1000 in milliseconds. So it is set to 20 seconds.

                      In your config.js try this and play around with the timing to adjust to your needs:

                      {
                      	module: 'MMM-History',
                      	position: 'bottom_bar',
                      	config: {
                      		rotateInterval: 60 * 1000 // 60 seconds
                      	}
                      },
