[Feature Request] Please add a manual reload button to help refresh the quotes if it does not update. #545

The quotes from TheySaidSo are not updating automatically. My tabliss is showing the same quote for more than 48 hours. Please add a manual reload/update button to refresh the quote when it fails to update.

Currently, I've to remove the quote widget manually and add them again to get fresh quotes.

I'm also facing this issue, not sure what's wrong with the quote update

@rayshabh actually, the API upstream seems to be having issue: https://quotes.rest/

The issue is that most request to the API fails, I believe : image

This is probably due to the fact that the free API usage, allows only for 10 quotes per hours, maybe if a paid API plan was being used, this wouldn't happen.

We may need another quote API, that is free and could be almost as equivalent. So I believe having a manual upgrade quote button wouldn't change anything.

@AkechiShiro Maybe you're right.

Currently the free plan has only 5 calls/day. The Basic plan features 1000 calls/day for $4.99/month. Source: https://theysaidso.com/api There is an RSS feed, but it seems to be updated only irregularly: https://theysaidso.com/feeds#

This looks interesting as an alternative: lukePeavey/quotable: Random Quotes API
