Inspirational Quote API #34

Open Garbee opened 7 years ago

Garbee commented 7 years ago

It may be cool to use something like Forismatic for getting an inspirational quote instead of certain twitter feeds. Possibly even make an adapter to allow people to chose/build their own methods to get quotes if desired.

I'm thinking we introduce an option for the inspirational quote source. Which would be a string that needs to match a registered provider. One of which would be the current twitter provider and a new one for forismatic. Then others could make an adapter for other services such as Mastadon as requested in #20.

Twitter and Forismatic could be in-box providers with developers getting the ability to make their own external packages to handle others.

The unix program "fortune" is also a good source. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_(Unix)
