Is Magic Mirror something like X-Server is started after automatic log in and then X-clients are launched from some predefined places?

I am familiar with Unix, raspberry and X-Server and would like to understand what the basic architecture of Magic Mirror is. A few words would be enough to help me to unterstand the underlying concept. And please mention JavaScript in this context?

I think this response is roughly what you’re looking for. The short version is “Magic Mirror is a web application, written in Javascript, that runs on NodeJS, using Electron to display the interface.”
