A Nextcloud app that swaps in a random login background, pulling from Unsplash and several other image providers, with a firm stance on contributions.

This is a Nextcloud app that sets a random login background from Unsplash, per the project description, complete with emoji. The README's feature documentation is a single table of providers: Nextcloud Background, the Unsplash API, WallhavenCC, Wikimedia, Wikimedia Picture of the Day, and Bing Wallpaper Picture of the Day. Each row names one source for the login screen image, and that table is the whole feature list, so the app is really about which providers you can draw from. It is a small app in both features and setup, which fits its single purpose.

The contributing section welcomes anyone willing to help, then draws a hard line: hate, discrimination, and racism are decidedly unwelcome. The README goes a step further and says people offended by that policy might belong to the group who are not welcome, and that hate will not be tolerated in any way. It is a small README with a clear community stance baked in, and the tone makes the boundary unambiguous. The welcome is genuine, and the boundary is stated plainly rather than implied.

Development guidance is brief. You first make sure a Nextcloud installation is up and running, then link this app into the apps folder. The running instance is what you test the background app against, and beyond that the README offers no further setup detail. For a small app like this, the live install is the development environment, and linking the app folder is the standard way to wire it in.
