I’d like to introduce a new module: MMM-CanvasCalendar
https://github.com/dbeltjr/MMM-CanvasCalendar
I previously maintained MMM-Canvas, a fork of another module that used the Canvas API to display upcoming assignments. After the recent Canvas data breach, my institution stopped issuing API access tokens — so that approach was no longer viable.
As an alternative, I worked with AI to take MagicMirror’s default calendar module and customize it specifically for the Canvas iCal feed. It has similar functionality to MMM-Canvas with a few additions, all documented in the README.
One limitation worth noting upfront: because the Canvas iCal feed does not include submission status, the module cannot automatically remove assignments you’ve already completed.
They will drop off once their due date has passed.
I’m not a developer by trade, but I’ve found AI a useful tool for modifying and creating modules like this. Feedback and suggestions are welcome!
