Notes

Inspired by the MagicMirror plugin MMM-DailyDilbert.

This module is written in typescript, as such the javascript files in the root are automatically generated, the actual source code is in /src.

The module scrapes the sitemap of the Daily Maverick, and as such does not show comics from his Mail and Guardian days.
