    @antonia It depends on what you want to achieve. So first of all knowledge about javascript is a huge benefit, as the core and modules are developed with this language.

    If you want to develop some modules you should check out the development guide here https://github.com/fewieden/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules

    Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

      I would get the basic MM software up and running, then configure it to what you want to see, then maybe create your own module.

        @strawberry-3.141 I was thinking more of creating everything from scratch - like express server and all… I’ve taken javascript courses, I’m not pro but I know how it works and I understand how to develop the modules.
        However, creating the whole system from 0 seems difficult :/

          @antonia If you want it to work similar to MagicMirror then you will build a web page.

          There you will render the modules.

          To update the modules you can ask the server for updates (ajax, long-polling) or you use websockets to get updates on the fly.

          On the server you need to get the data for the modules which can be rendered on the webpage.

          Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

            @strawberry-3.141 thanks! I will follow the steps you suggested. I will try to do it with a simple hello world module and then build up.
