blastitt / dailyxkcd Goto Github PK

There is a small typo in the README.md, in the example: "title" should be "showTitle".

Doesn't seem to be working. Nothing shows up on my MagicMirror. I've tried several positions to no avail :/

Perhaps the xkcd json has changed? I can't read or write javascript so I can't really help.

Built a fresh mirror and all was well until I tried to add the only thing I really need... My dose of DailyXKCD

I was working on a pi0 so I was blaming that but I don't think that's the reason. More this...

UPDATED - Replaced deprecated request package with node-fetch and digest-fetch.

Tried a quick fix but I don't really know what I'm doing in dot js land.

Awesome module. Would there be an easy way to add a config option to change the comic size?

Thanks

I have the module installed and place on MagicMirror screen where I want it. The issue is that no matter where I place it per config.js. I have looked through the css files and can't seem to locate anywhere there is a .width call out to account for it.

The comic displayed is squished (screenshot attached.)

It would be great if the altText did not expand over the whole width of the screen when there is a long text (I'm using position: "bottom_right"). Best to make it the same width as the comic and have it expand height, or maybe an ellipsis if it gets way too long.

I tried to hack the css for this but couldn't find a clean way to keep the auto-expanding width while making the text the same width as the image. Maybe someone else has an idea.

Is it possible to add the option to cycle through random comics on a timer?

So I was looking at my PiHole admin page today and I noticed that I had over 12000 dns requests to XKCD.com

These all occurred within a few minutes around the time it was trying to fetch the new comic. My refresh interval is set to the default value.

Any ideas why this might be happening?
