Hi,
I've just just built a MAX7219 / ESP display and am now having looking at what is available for it and came across your project.
What I really think is missing is the previous functionality of displaying news headlines, I totally understand why the previous solution was no longer viable and your hesitance because of the potential legal issues however could this not all be bypassed with using RSS feeds ?
This is a similar project I wrote using python for the raspberry pi, here I grab the latest entry of a specified RSS feed and then display the title from that first entry.... I liked the RSS approach because it was dead easy to implement and allowed the user to pick what was displayed, could be anything with an RSS feed, not just news.....

Would this be achievable within the constraints of this controller ? I'm not fluent in C++ unfortunately and don't really understand the constraints of the ESP ecosystem at the moment.....
