    @toxeek Just to let you know, I am not part of the core MagicMirror team and my answer is based on my personal interpretation of the situation.

    I wish you every success! 🚀 I would find it interesting if you could tell us about your project later.

    as a reminder, Openweather is terminating their free 2.5 level api . latest reports say starting next week Oct 14

    please take action to migrate to the 3.0 api and new apikey. this requires s credit card to be registered in case you go over the daily uncharged call limit, currently 1,000
    otherwise your weather modules ( default and others) WILL FAIL

    @sdetweil said in Github usage and module continuations:

    yeh, I don’t think that will happen… we are a volunteer team, and have plenty of existing core issues to deal with… hundreds of additional modules just won’t be possible.

    After seeing @KristjanESPERANTO list of modules, seeing that there are over a 1000, I think it is definitely not worth it to push everything to one repository. Especially with duplicates and/or obselete modules.

    Although, seeing the list of “default” modules be extended with 3rd party “verified” modules with proper continues integration (tests / and build workflows so it gets automatically build with every software update) would be great.

    @KristjanESPERANTO said in Github usage and module continuations:

    I’ve started working on a new list of modules, and doing some rudimentary tests (you can see the result here). A few developers have already started work through the recommendations there. Even though the whole project is still in its infancy, but with that we have a process of assessing the quality of modules. Perhaps the whole thing will develop in the direction of module installer or app store. We will see. I would be delighted if you would take a look at the project and maybe join in.

    I haven’t seen this yet, this looks pretty good. Awesome to see that there’s a different visual list to find modules and see when its last updated.

    As I said in the starting post, it would be nice to have a general sense of direction on how to improve the entire module base and it gets easier and there’s more overview whats available. But also make it easier for people to develop their module and have it gain traction across the community.

    I’ve been here in this forum for some time and I did not see this post.

    I’m Luis, and I was born in Barranquilla, Colombia. I’m currently living Canada for about 11 years. I am 42.

    I studied aeronautical engineering and I have a master in aviation management. I speak 5 languages so far. I work as a Reliability Analyst in the aerospace industry.

    I started using MagicMirror in 2020 as a hobby, to learn a bit of coding. Now with all the support of the community, I have a dashboard for me and my family at home. It works as an agenda, I check my car information, music playing at home, the bus schedule, a camera and even sport results.

    I’ll leave some pictures soon in “Show my mirror”.

    Greetings,
    Luis

    @sdetweil

    Hey!

    Thanks for answering, and no I have not a backup of client SDcard,
    BUT trust me, I will have that in the future… but I have backup of my shell scripts, so it feels pretty ok anyways.

    @kusselin what modules are running?

    we don’t have any live code in the base, its all in modules.

    sounds like at least one module has very short refresh cycle

    @ufransa said in Help me to level up my Magic Mirror:

    I´m triying to set it up on my windows but when I use this command it shows this error and I don´t understand the reason.

    from the doc
    https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#other-operating-systems

    you didn’t make the required changes or run the extra steps

    @zylejas98 you most certainly can create your own web page, if you have the time . you will do all the same work the MagicMirror modules do today

    decide on a display function, find a data provider,
    get the data, design and format a display from the data, decide and implement a data refresh approach , figure out how to integrate multiple data displays, etc

    MagicMirror will run just about anywhere
    linux,windows,mac
    its just an spp

    while you are developing/composing, do it on a native machine. docker and mmos add too much extra complexity in my opinion

    its a composable information panel

    calendar in a list is easy, we supply the module that does that

    wall cal type there are a couple which feed off the same calendar data

    weather, stocks, bus/train times are available. some of the data services are becoming fee based. nothing we can do about it. if you did your own, same problem

    use my install script for linux and mac, see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

    if you don’t like the config editing , try my MMM-Config module that generates a form
    see https://github.com/sdetweil

    i don’t provide module installation, but that is usually very easy. (see the 3rd party module list linked at the top of this forum) search is very good

    consistent style, font and color will be a problem if you want that
