The simplest way to activate daypaper is to run it every hour:
$: crontab -e
0 * * * * ~/go/bin/daypaper > ~/.daypaper.log
Daypaper will contact the API only when needed (i.e. the current day period has changed).
The periods are defined like this:
= 12 && h <= 14 { return "noon" } else if h >= 15 && h <= 17 { return "afternoon" } else if h >= 18 && h <= 21 { return "evening" } return "night" ">
h := time.Now().Hour() if h >= 7 && h <= 11 { return "morning" } else if h >= 12 && h <= 14 { return "noon" } else if h >= 15 && h <= 17 { return "afternoon" } else if h >= 18 && h <= 21 { return "evening" } return "night"
