Wider Veriety of Modules For Different Kinds of People
-
I was doing some research, and I found what’s called an “Air Bar”.

Does anyone know if it is possible to add that to the magic mirror in any way to make it touchscreen? I’m thinking of developing a module for it if it is possible to use the Air Bar. Also, if anyone has any cool ideas for modules related to the ones I’ve suggested, just post them here. -
From now on I will use this topic as a way to just give ideas to the community. If I think about anything that would be nice to put on my mirror, I will post it here, and I invite others to do the same.

@AAPS since the airbar is USB based I don’t think you would need to make a module for it and it should work by itself
-
Do you think I could use it with just one AirBar, or would I need to put 4 around my mirror? I guess it just depends on the size of the mirror itself. I’ll do more research, but it seems like this would be a low-cost way to add touchscreen to my Magic Mirror, so I’ll test it out.
-
@AAPS only one would be enough, however the airbars are available in a few fixed sizes, so your mirror can’t be that big

Hi all,
I have been using the magic mirror for a couple weeks, and it has occurred to me how great the system really is. As a Muslim , I have to stay on top of all of my religious duties, so I was wondering if there are any other Muslims out there with more tech knowledge than me who are able to develop modules for Muslims such as prayer times ( islamicfinder.org/ ). I also would suggest that different modules be made to help people with their everyday lives. Again, these are only suggestions, but I hope all of you tech savvy people keep doing what you’re doing to make everyone’s life a little bit easier.
Hi, i’m an Indonesian and a muslim. I plan to develop a new one. I’m just finished develop a module to display a random ayah/verse of Quran. Please check : https://github.com/slametps/MMM-RandomQuranAyah.
Hope it useful. -
@slametps Much appreciated. I was able to get prayer times with http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/ and the calendar module, but this will make a fine edition to my Magic Mirror.

How you display this? using iframe or parse the content?
-
@slametps I used the calendar module. First I changed the settings on http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com Then, I hovered my mouse over the link that says “iCalendar Feed”. I replaced the current ical on my mirror with the one I found from the website. It shoul something like this: http://prayerwebcal.appspot.com/.ics?x=0.0&y=0.0&z=0&s=0&j=0

There are a variety of modules to choose from already… many people working on more all the time.
