This project called Daily History will provide a quick glance into the history of the current day. I used https://www.timeanddate.com/on-this-day/ to scrape the data from. The CLI would greet you with:
" What Happened On This day - Current Date "
And will list a short list of historical headlines in numeric order.
The user will then be able to choose a headline to read more about by selecting the number of the headline of their interest. Once the number of the headline is selected the user will get a brief summary of the chosen headline.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'daily_history'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install daily_history

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
