Compliments similar to Magic Mirror #1601

Closed cocarrig closed 2 years ago

Discussed in https://github.com/dakboard/Cloud-Platform/discussions/1598

Originally posted by **MartynWilliams** August 31, 2022 Has anyone come up with a way to have random phrases or compliments displayed on DakBoard using the existing blocks, but perhaps reading from a file on one of the supported platforms or possibly a local file on the Pi. I don't think scheduled text will work as I just want the message to randomly change every x minutes, and it would be tedious to enter the complements in via the UI. For context I was in the process of putting together a Magic Mirror for my daughter, when it become apparent that it was going to be difficult to have shared calendars and the look and feel across a DakBoard and a Magic Mirror, we eventually decided to just add a second DAKBoard screen and just keep the MM look. Its nearly done, but the only thing I can't emulate are the compliments. Any suggestions are welcome.

After reviewing this I was surprised to not see an RSS feed that we could recommend for this, I dont see any reason why we cannot set this up and include this in our "daily facts" setup currently in place since the content is easily sourced. Setting up an issue for us to implement this.
