Code a MagicMirror by myself?

[oddo]

Hello there!

Small details on my person… I’m a software development trainee from germany and we have, due to covid, a project with a PI4.
I instantly thought about a MagicMirror.

How should I start? Which language can I use and so on…
Or are there any instructions on how to go along with it?

I’m glad about every little help. Thanks for reading

@oddo MagicMirror is written in Javascript, and uses loadable extensions (modules) to display small fragments of content (lots of modules, produces lots of content)

each module is essentially an application, focused on the content IT provides. without knowledge of any other module

the documentation on creating a module is here
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/development/introduction.html#general-advice

and u can use my sample to start
https://github.com/sdetweil/SampleModule

read the links in my signature below on how to install a module and making a good config file

also see my installation and maintenance scripts for MM

@sdetweil Thanks for your answer! I will look behind the documents and try my best to get something going.
