Thought of something like this since day one for me … but I shoved it to the back (where it fell off now) for a few reasons:
a) if this is in my bathroom, I don’t want to be standing there reading news, so I’d never use it there
b) if this is in the living room, I’m just walking by and glancing at it, again, not going to stop to read
c) as above, if I’m in the living room, I can just turn on my TV and watch the news, all day if I wanted to (who has time for that?!)
c) if I’m at the computer, I can always pull up the news site

In the end it ended up being a ‘nice idea, but won’t get used’, at least not in my house hold. It’s practicality for me.

That said, I understand everyone’s situation is different. Perhaps you do like to stand at your bathroom sink and read the news. Or perhaps your mirror is in a place where people do stop and read. No one is saying you can’t do that.

Just something to chew on …

z-index applies to everything in the DOM element. Just because your button is on a layer all by itself, does not mean there might not be another layer on top of it that you are unaware of. However if you say you tried it (set it to 999?) and no difference, then something else is going on. At the moment I’m just too overloaded with other projects.

Hey @strawberry-3-141, have you considered the CSS layers? Could it be possible that something else is overlaid on top of of where the button might be and that’s why @shre28491193 is unable to click on it? I haven’t checked out any of the code nor tried anything, too many things going on at the same time and just too busy, but at the moment, that’s the one thing that came to mind … Set a z-index on the button layer and see what happens.

Actually, yes you could. Basically any HTML tag would (should?) work. I did a ‘split’ on a key character so I can apply two different styles, one on the quote, and one on the author. Slightly different approach.

I will try this weekend. Haven’t had much free time lately.

@deadherring said in Rss for news feeds?:

My MM is installed in the wall in my bathroom and it would be a huge pain to have to connect a mouse and keyboard to it every time I want to modify anything. I suppose I can ssh into it and modify the config file via nano too. I don’t know if that solves the problem, I have to try later.

Either use SSH to get on the rpi, or, if you must, get a wireless mouse/keyboard combo. Those things are cheap on eBay.

Can’t. It’s a single line each time.
