      @sdetweil @BKeyport Thank you both so much. These are great ideas to get started. From what both of you are saying, it sounds like I need to try and come up with an idea for a module and learn from there. Pretty much from the ground up. I really wish I learned more about this growing up. But at least now I have Chat GPT to assist.

      Also, thank you providing the links to those helpful modules. These will be great learning resources.

        @bebetter14 Avoid the AI engines. They’re mostly useless, just FYI. Enjoy the process. If you end up with a releasable module, great, if not, hey, it’s a learning experience.

          @BKeyport Thank you for the heads up! I guess I should probably focus on trying to get the modules I have installed now to work before I start trying to make a new one.

            @bebetter14 you can try my MMM-Config module which will present a form for editing config.js

            it has some struggles with some modules, but there are ways to work around them

              Just an update. I have been doing the https://www.theodinproject.com/dashboard “classes” and they have been fantastic. Its a great Introduction to how to use Git and Github along with using a terminal. I do all the learning in a virtual machine that runs Linux. It had a great intros to HTML and CSS. I even have my own Github account (https://github.com/inventiveillustrtions) now with my first “project”.
