    MagicMirror² runs fine on a Mac Mini. As a matter of fact, MagicMirror² is developed with with a focus on the Mac Mini … Want to know why? Sorry, that’s a little secret … ;)

      @alexyak I was just planning on running Safari on the iPad, and point it at the macmini running mm2 in server mode. Now I realize I’d probably need to jailbreak the iPad so that doesn’t go to sleep. Thoughts?

        Ran on my mac with no issues! Both ‘npm start’ and ‘npm serveronly’ worked without issues.
        I am using:
        $ node -v
        v5.1.1
        $ npm -v
        3.3.12

          @maju6406 How about making a simple WebView app using Xcode that doesn’t go standby.

          In Swift:

          UIApplication.sharedApplication().idleTimerDisabled = true

            @MichMich Perfect! I also didn’t realize you can turn off Auto-lock via Settings these days. Thanks so much for creating this project. I get my mirror tomorrow so that’s when the real fun begins :).
