Your download and browse repository links don't work. Did you make the repo private?

Also, you mention that you want to add a way to customize where the text on the screen is. I recommend also adding a way to customize what information does and does not get displayed.

Finally, when I first saw this, I thought it might be a Minetest version of the WAILA mod for Minecraft, which tells you what you're looking at and additional information about that block/thing. Do you think you could add something like that to this mod? It seems fitting. Currently, I don't see any use for this mod, personally. A WAILA replacement, however, would be super awesome.

Fixed. I'm sorry, I typo-ed both the links :P.
Sadly, minetest doesn't support anything like player:get_pointed_thing() so there is no way to find out what the player is looking at without geometry and such. If you have any ideas of how, feel free to put them here! :-)
I was looking at making a configuration menu for position.

minetest doesn't support anything like player:get_pointed_thing()

That's surprising. If you look at the debug info with F5, it shows it:

Of course it is possible and there is a mod doing that already.

That is part of the core. Sadly, AFAIK there is not an api function for that.

That's unfortunate. Seems like there's an number of things not exposed to through the API or a config yet (like the ability to start with the minimap on everytime you load a world).

That mod does not use the actual pointed node, it uses a hack to get the correct node most of the time.
It does not work when pointing through the negative space of a nodebox.
In C++, there is a getPointedThing() function, but this is not in lua.
