    @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.

    Last night I got home and decided I wanted to tinker with some more on my MM² code. After some lines were written, I popped a browser open … and saw no change. Huh? Went back, double checked my code, refreshed the browser … nothing. Oookay, I started adding debug lines and commenting out others. Still nothing, no debug, no console, no change, anywhere. Well this is annoying … the mirror is still running, but it seems none of my changes are taking. Ok, so maybe I need to restart the process. So I popped open another SSH session, logged in, and hit 'pm2 restart MM'. Boom, the mirror restarts no problems. But what’s this? Even on the mirror I don’t see my code changes. Did the rpi suddenly get corrupted and it can’t read data? Crap. Time to restart the rpi and do a file systems check. That came back fine, memory test, fine … so what gives? Flipped back to the first SSH window to check on code … yep still there. What’s going on?!

    By now I was getting irritated so I did the next best thing I could think of: recloned everything from github, reset it all, and try again (from the first SSH window session - can you guess what’s going on here yet?.) Hit reload …ok, it comes up. Let’s make code changes again … nothing. No changes, it’s like all my code was being completely ignored.

    So I flipped back to the second SSH session I had opened to start looking at the filesystem again and then it hit me … I’m working on the wrong device! UGH! The window title correctly tells me that I was on a different address, I just never looked UP to see it.

    See, I have an identical installation on my office server, it’s an exact clone of the rpi at home. When I code at home, I push up to github, when I get to the office, I clone it back down. When I leave the office at the end of the day, I push changes up to github and when I get home, I reclone again. So the two devices always stay the same. In the first SSH session window, I was already logged into the one at the office, I just didn’t realize it. So all my code changes were being done there while I was trying to see the changes from the rpi at home.

    It’s at that point I decided it’s time to just go to bed. :)

    That’s a question for @MichMich. As he mentioned above, he has a module on his to-do list, but it takes time to develop something like that. We all have busy schedules too. Catch-22.

    Essentially you are using your own github account to do that. Write your code, commit it to github, and then share it with the rest of the world. Github has extensive help pages on their site. A good beginner’s guide is here: http://product.hubspot.com/blog/git-and-github-tutorial-for-beginners

    I would recommend you start there and when you get stuck (or if you get stuck), let us know where/how, and we can try to help resolve the issue then.

    Reddit user Comm4nd0 has just released his code for his AI.

    The link includes a video with a demonstration of its capabilities. Looks pretty impressive!

    @MichMich Agreed! Definitely show some of the modules we’ve got around here, and other mirrors. What MichMich posted should be enough to make a pretty good video.

    After years of programming & translations I learned a lot. In my own language (frisian) we do use some of these a lot, and in the other language (Dutch) we don’t use them often.

    But for every starter it can Be a huge problem to solve this very Tiny issue.

    I Hope you did finish your translation and Made a PR.

    Personally I use Google Keep. The reason I like it is because I can use it to write notes, set alarm on notes, I can create shopping lists with it, and if I want to get creative, even to-do lists, although the latter is better done with Google Tasks. And, for me, best of all, it’s synced across all of my devices, computer, phone, tablet. The bad news is, Google Keep does not have an API, however Google Tasks does, it’s a REST API.

    I’ve thought about it quite a bit actually, but haven’t had time to actually start looking at what it would take.

    Maybe it acts as some kind of USB mouse/touchpad?

    @KirAsh4 I pretty much have the same opinion.
    However you should still be able to install node and npm on the Pi 1. The create a config file error is probably related to some typo in your configuration file or you did some other mistake setting the the thing up. Seems like you did not install the dependencies by using npm install? This could also be a reason :)

    I moved this into the general discussion category since it isn’t a real module (yet?).

    This just came across my radar. This appears to run entirely on an Android tablet.
