I’m so, so tempted to get a Tidbyt, but I’d want to tweak it to do some specific things that aren’t available as apps (at time of writing).
I’m pretty familiar with HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, and PHP – I wouldn’t say I’m ever someone who makes big, complicated web apps, but I can muddle through most things with the help of Stack Exchange.
I’ve never used Python, though.
How much of a learning curve would I be looking at to do things like:
- Show Mastodon follower count
- Show recent Mastodon ‘toots’ as a marquee
- Show number of members on Discord server
- Display information from RSS feeds
- Show stats/viewer counts for a WordPress blog
Etc?
Thanks for your help!
