Hi friends,

I've been adding a few lines here and there and today I manage to set the script to run as a cron job to download the images every 5 minutes for about 1 hours. I wanted to create the GIF right away as well so I would be making more progress than expected but it turns out to be a bit hard. I don't know if any of you know how to make few png files into a GIF programmatically, hopefully using NodeJS.

The following GIF was manually created and does not count as project progress, and after it I will also share the file that I happen to generate which is not quite usable (yet!)

As you can see in the project repo most of the changes in the develop branch are related with downloading the images and I'm hoping to have a fully working GIF generation by the end of this week.
