Inspirational Quote API

Open Garbee opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

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)
