                This is cool! Congrats!

                How did you put the news like that? I want to have 3-4 feeds and top 5 news from each, and displayed on a full page.
                Thanks.

                  {
                  	module: "newsfeed",
                          position: "upper_third",
                  		              	config: {
                  	           		       	feeds: [
                  					               {
                  						                      title: "The Hindu - National",
                  					                         	url: "https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/feeder/default.rss"
                                                                         },
                  
                                                                         {
                                                                                         title: "Times of India - National",
                                                                                         url: "https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/-2128936835.cms"
                                                                          },
                  
                  			                     	],
                  			                 	showSourceTitle: true,
                  			                 	showPublishDate: true,
                  			                   	broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
                  			                 	broadcastNewsUpdates: true,
                  			                    hideLoading: true,
                                                  showDescription: true,
                                                  updateInterval: 45000
                  		                          	}
                  	           	},
                  

                  This module is for one row of news feed ! and it will show feeds from the above two links (in my case National news The Hindu & Times of India)
                  You may add more feed links if required.

                  Now, if you want to display a new row for the news, configure it as a new module with exact same name as of news feed. For eg. I have added international news feed

                  {
                                          module: "newsfeed",
                                          position: "upper_third",
                                          config: {
                                                  feeds: [
                                                          {
                                                                  title: "The Hindu - International",
                                                                  url: "https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/feeder/default.rss"
                                                          },
                  
                                                          {
                                                                  title: "Times of India - International",
                                                                  url: "https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeeds/296589292.cms"
                                                          },
                  
                  				],
                                                  showSourceTitle: true,
                                                  showPublishDate: true,
                                                  broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
                                                  broadcastNewsUpdates: true,
                                                  hideLoading: true,
                                                  showDescription: true,
                                                  updateInterval: 45000
                  			 }
                                  },
                  

                  Keep in mind that the sequence of the rows will be according to the module position ie. if the News feed for national news is above international news. The First row would be of National news followed by International News.

                  Hope it helps !

                      So, after posting my videos on Fb, there were lot of people who were interested in building the mirror, however most of them did not know where to start.

                      Hence i decided to build a series of tutorials to get everyone out there started, who even don’t know what is Raspberry Pi.

                      I am a Mechanical Engineer and i wasn’t sure how to do things, but i learned after lots of research. I made this series of Videos starting from

                      1. Demonstration of MM - https://youtu.be/sCetiJk2Qus
                      2. How to build hardware of Frame less MM - https://youtu.be/BZ_JVD9ReMk
                      3. How to Install MM & Getting started with MM Modules - https://youtu.be/PHpth_KQHcE
                      4. How to configure calendar & weather modules - https://youtu.be/ce6O2aGB9tY

                      I also plan to make some more of them so that this project can reach to as many people as possible !

                        After watching your video did you drill the holes into the mirror glass it self or did it come like that.
