As a person with a penchant for data, but with limited coding experience, I agree.

I have hard time reconciling:

"Don't know how to code? That's fine."

With:

"The code is available on Github, and that's where you should start. Just clone the repo and run the installation script located at root."

I think you seriously overestimate the layman's abilities here. Is this for programming laymen? Github is one of the last things people learn, for better or worse.

Intriguing, nonetheless. Will follow.

PS: I just created an issue on github to adress your remark: https://github.com/BBC-News-Labs/datastringer/issues/11

Feel free to contribute :)

I just created a Terminal.com snapshot with DataStringer ready to use. You may want to give a try at https://terminal.com/tiny/eFW4xKrxZJ

Yes, we are still a bit new with Node and the best practices when it comes to installation process. I went for what came in mind immediately, but there's obviously room for improvement. Any thoughts or comments are welcome! Thank you :)

Hehe, yes, there's an opened issue about the install process on Mac - we couldn't perform tests over the weekend!

Cron wouldn't work on Windows either, by the way.
