Has it implemted WITH NO API slow see comment for possable fix

rikai commented 9 years ago

Yeah, the speed of that was my concern as well. which is why i was thinking of maybe using that github repo, adding a caching mechanism might be nice though.

Whitch git hub repo

I could write a scheduler casher if a cron job option isn't available

rikai commented 9 years ago

The repo i listed in the TODO, though that solution is also non-optimal.

The whole reason i try to use APIs is to find a method less resource intensive and more quickly updated than polling. Pulling an entire webpage at an interval is rather wasteful, i would think.

Also, a scheduler doesn't need to be written. Cinch includes a timer.
