      I’m making a magicmirror for a good friend that is a chemist. I have done extensive digging but cannot seem to find any modules that are related to chemistry. My ideal module would be something that would go through the periodic table of elements and randomly choose an element to give facts, history, and/or a story on its discovery. Something similar to the “today in history” but not time associated.

        If you want to create the data, you can probably use an RSS reader to go through it

          Sadly, I’ve yet to make a module or really play with things beyond setting up pre-made ones.

            @Divis you wouldn’t need to make a module. You could use even use the default newsfeed module. You’d just need to create the XML file in the right format with the content to display.

              @Divis I actually started something like this a long time ago, but never finished it. Because of your request, I dug it out again and made it work:

              Does that help? 🙂

                I have not spent a bunch of time on this yet - but building something similar for my grandson who is fascinated by science.
