    @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.
