-Since the fetching and reading is very slow and depends on an internet connection, all vignettes
+If you want to build the vignettes, pass `build_vignettes = TRUE`.
-use `read_from_csv` to read already parsed tibbles from `.csv` files.

-That's why, if you want to build the vignettes yourself, you need to
-download the source code, e.g. on Linux
-```
-git clone https://git.flavigny.de/christian/hateimparlament
-cd hateimparlament
-```
-then start `R` and do
-```r
-devtools::load_all()
-fetch_all(create = TRUE)
