Note

This requires PyQt4 to be installed on the system. It seems it currently cannot be deployed with pip, so it's not mentioned in the dependencies.

TODO

  • Currently a bunch of stuff is hard-coded that should be configurable (e.g. subreddits to pull images/text from)
  • Add more sources (currently, only Reddit)
  • An ability to remotely send images/text to the billboard for immediate display
  • Take screenshot of the current display and serve it over HTTP
  • regex-based bad words filtering
  • Support Python 2
  • Switch to PyQt5
  • ...
