Hello Aleix and members of the KDE community,
fortunately, the JS code for the banner / widget is licensed under MIT and
therefore free software. The repository can be found at GitHub
(https://github.com/fightforthefuture/digital-climate-strike
<https://github.com/fightforthefuture/digital-climate-strike>) and the parsed
JS script looks like this: https://assets.digitalclimatestrike.net/widget.js
<https://assets.digitalclimatestrike.net/widget.js> .
We could even clone the repo and host the code ourselves. Hosting it ourselves
would also have the advantage that we could fully customize it to our needs.
Your's faithfully
cahfofpai
