    • This Day in History ticker?

      Hi folks,

      I’ve found a handful of This Day in History modules and even RSS feeds, but they all show one fact per day. What I have in mind is a TDIH that’s like a news ticker. For example, if today were Feb. 23, then it would display “1836 - Battle of Alamo in Texas” and then four seconds later show “1887 - French Riviera hit by earthquake” and so on. Does such a thing already exist? If not, could someone help me code it?

      @yawns Ok I think I found what I’m looking for here: http://history.muffinlabs.com

      Now how do I get it on my Magic Mirror? Again, Noob here.

      @yawns Thank you! Solid suggestions. Yeah an excerpt would work. I just want less info on the screen at a time, and more of them. What I was envisioning is like what pops up when you type a date into Wikipedia (is that a faux pas? Noob here…). This was under the “Feb 12” entry: 0_1518501360438_Screen Shot 2018-02-12 at 11.53.57 PM.png

      @ninjabreadman Thank you! I wonder if there’s a way to make it display not quite so much info? Like just a little blurb before moving on to the next event on the day in question?
