Forgot to add the vertical position when displaying the other contests text

Contests with long names, get clipped off the screen. Title should either wrap to the next line, or truncate with "..." at the end

Lots of duplicate code in *_page.py files. Can clean up using a parent Page class that the others can inherit from.

Also refactor the other files

• glance.py
• screen_util.py
• next_app.py
• album_page.py
• album_pictures.py
• instructables_page.py
• instructables_contests.py

The app currently only displays a max of 5 contests. If there are more, it should display the number of contests not displayed.
Alternatively, the display could be re-rendered to remove the avatar and make more vertical space. (this would likely allow for 2 more contests to be displayed)

We made a change to the original script to download the album after it displays a picture so we could reduce the time it took to update the image.
This worked great in the case when there was an album already had an album present, but means that the app will fail when running for the first time. We should add a check so that if the album is not present, we should download the image first.

(sounds like a great time to start adding in tests, dontchathink)

Instead of download the album every day (where they may not be any new images) Should be able to schedule how often to download. Maybe once a week/month etc.

Also would be nice to just have an offline mode too

Create dev mode that will display the apps on a regular screen so testing does not require the e-ink display

When downloading the album for the first time, the script fails because there is not folder called 'album'. If a folder is just created glance displays "Album empty" because it downloads the album after displaying an image.

Should update this so it checks if the album folder exists and there is an image in it. If not, and downloading is allowed, it should download the album from the directory and then display the image.
If downloading is off or url is not valid, should error and ask the user to add photos to the album folder

Some photos are displayed horizontally. It might be the tall photos, when resizing for the glance, get flipped

The current avatar "Megan" was just a test image. App should have a number of avatars to cycle through
