MMM-EOL

The Encyclopedia of Life

Here's what you get

  • First, you are greeted by Charles Darwin on the cover of the encyclopedia.

  • Then, a rotation of images and information about the life form you choose.

  • Virtually every form of life on Earth to choose from. (Plants, Fish, Mammals, Reptiles, Birds etc..)

  • I will add life forms as requested. There's just too many to include all of them.

  • "Cats" will include ALL cats, or you can choose a specific species. (Lions, Tigers, etc..)

  • You determine how much or how little information is displayed in config file. (dLength: option)

Examples

Installation

  • git clone https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-EOL into the ~/MagicMirror/modules directory.

  • No API key needed. No dependencies. No kidding!

  • Annotated .css file included for sizing and coloring.
