Script which downloads current and future POTD from Wikimedia Commons, adds a summary caption to the bottom, and sets as desktop background image for gnome. Can also be setup on a server to download images any desired time of the day then mirror them for faster retrival from personal devices on the LAN.

Has been tested on Ubuntu. Could be used on a RaspberryPi powered digital picture frame. Need to impliment auto cleanup for old images.

Please leave feedback & suggestions for improvement!

Stigg | SaaS Monetization and Entitlements API

For developers in need of a tool to launch pricing plans faster and build better buying experiences

A monetization platform is a standalone middleware that sits between your application and your business applications, as part of the modern enterprise billing stack. Stigg unifies all the APIs and abstractions billing and platform engineers had to build and maintain in-house otherwise. Acting as your centralized source of truth, with a highly scalable and flexible entitlements management, rolling out any pricing and packaging change is now a self-service, risk-free, exercise.
