music-box's Issues

Shorter width for new GitHub UI

After the GitHub UI update with more padding in featured repos/gists, my musicbox looks like this:

Maybe we can decrease the width of the text, perhaps have it configurable?

Improvements, etc to eventually get done

• make artist1, artist2, etc. into an array instead of singular objects completed in pull request #4
• eventually expand/inflate the play count to fill in the bar
• allow users to change from artist of week to month, year
• allow users to change to top songs, etc.

Issue when running for the first time

Hey there!
Thanks for the awesome tool, you've inspired me to make my own that uses rescuetime data 👍

Wanted to raise a bit of an issue with getting it working though. Please see the error below. Let me know if you need any more info 👍

Should I use circleCI ?

Do you need anything other than those mentioned in README.md? Should I integrate with Circle CI here?

Struggling to see past revisions

Hey there,

Great work on music-box. I absolutely love it and the difference it makes in my listening history on Spotify. When I first set up music-box I recalled being able to see past revisions; however, now, I cannot. Is there any way to have the past revisions visible when revised? You can take a look at my gist here (if that helps).

Thanks!

Update padding for new gists size

Apparently GitHub updated the Gist padding/size/whatever, so update the padding value. Can be seen in projects like waka-box, etc.

imperfect alignment due to Asian language

The alignment has bug if text contains Asian language word like Japanese or Chinese.
