      Hi!
      first, what a nice project this MagicMirror.

      I’m using the calendar module with two ical : facebook et garmin
      On display, the module gives the right informations about event for today or tomorrow

      But for an event in 2 days or more, it seem calculate a wrong value…

      For exemple (same problem with facebook and garmin calendar) :
      today is august 10.
      Birthday A : august 10 - shows today
      Birthday B : august 11 - shows tomorrow
      Birthday C : august 12 - shows in 1 day? Show display “in 2 days”
      Birthday D : august 14 - shows in 3 days? Show display “in 4 days”

      thanks
      Sébastien

        The calculations are correct for how a computer calculates it:

        Birthday A : august 10 - shows today
        Birthday B : august 11 - shows tomorrow
        Birthday C : august 12 - shows in 1 day? Show display "in 2 days"
        Birthday D : august 14 - shows in 3 days? Show display “in 4 days”
        

        Calculations are done starting at the next midnight. So:

        Birthday A : august 10 - shows today
            -- at the next midnight, it's day 0
        
        Birthday B : august 11 - shows tomorrow
            -- at midnight, it will be day 0 + 1, so 'in 1 day' or 'tomorrow'
        
        Birthday C : august 12 - shows in 1 day? Show display "in 2 days"
            -- at midnight, it will be day 0 + 2, so 'in 2 days'
        
        Birthday D : august 14 - shows in 3 days? Show display “in 4 days”
            -- at midnight, it will be day 0 + 4, so 'in 4 days'
        

        The way the calculations are done isn’t perfect, but it’s how Moment.js returns those values, based on midnight.

        A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?
