Software:
- Configure the gui
So now I basically have every 10 minute covered by at least one quote.
Hardware:
- Install stuff on the raspberry pi
Update 19 Oct: After an intense study of available devices, I finally decided to use Raspberry Pi 3 A+ and a touchscreen to implement the literature clock. They cost around 100 usd in total. The budget is 200 usd so I can still afford some extra accessories and the international shipping fee. It is very slow to get electronic devices shipped to Singapore from abroad so I chose a local supplier, which would still take me 1-3 days. Hope I can make it ASAP. In fact, I am thinking of extending the project to include other cool stuff that could bring surprises my Ni. My eyes are opened! In the mean-time I could continue modifying the softwares.
Clock using time quotes from the literature, based on work and idea by Jaap Meijers (E-reader clock).
Force light or dark theme with the theme query parameter. E.g. https://literature-clock.jenevoldsen.com?theme=dark
The working site is in the docs/ folder, and can be visited at http://literature-clock.jenevoldsen.com/. To run it locally you may need to serve docs/ with an HTTP server (e.g. python3 -m http.server) ... or just open index.html in Firefox (thanks @gbear605).
Quotes are kept in litclock_annotated.csv. These are converted into a .json file for each minute with csv_to_json.R. To run the R script, install R and use the package manager, {packrat}, to install the correct version of the packages: packrat::restore().
- litime - A command line tool that shows a timely quote when it is executed.
