Possible to show Month View in lower corner?

@Cliff365 Look at MMM-Multimonth. https://github.com/BKeyport/MMM-Multimonth - it’s a plain calendar in small mode.
-
@MMRIZE Also good to know. Thanks!

Wow. That’s almost insulting to have all the modules ripped and reuploaded there with no mention of the original authors. (yeah, it’s a free project, with MIT licenses, but still…)
… Good to know it’s there, though.
FWIW, for anyone else doing this kind of thing - it would be better to fork off the original, then do your work on the module as you’d like, and then if you think it would be beneficial to all, ask for it to be added to the main work.
The module tree @hango pointed out is several versions old, and totally out of sync with current releases - putting your work at risk. For example, my module uses moment.js - which is dead. I’m reworking it at this time to do something else instead, as moment.js is also known to have several security issues.
Fork, Fix, and request merge. Bottom line. If the original author don’t respond, people can find yours and use it. There’s really no downside to doing it that way.

@BKeyport great advice, for the willing.
as I recall, there are a number of developers that believe they can do it all differently and better, and choose not to share, or contaminate their version with other sources.
-
@sdetweil I agree with Sam or the dev ends up rewriting so much that it really isn’t mergable at all. Perhaps renaming and just a comment mentioning the idea came from so-and-so is better solution.

@kayakbabe Thing is, if someone came up with some grand way to redo, say, the positioning system on Magic Mirror (yes, it’s one of the ones in that tree), I’m sure MichMich would love to know about it and possibly figure out how to incorporate it into the main project, even if it’s not compatible at the moment.
That’s actually how my product got to it’s current potential - If it wasn’t for Volker Wegert re-working a ton of it, and my basically scrapping my code and using his fork, MMM-Multimonth would still be on the shelf - which is why I show him the respect of thanks and co-author in the notes.
Lots of work still to do, and I’m still working on it, even if my depression kicked in and said no.
The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

@MMRIZE MMM-CalendarExtMiniMonth is exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!

@BKeyport Your idea of the positioning system improvement is very interesting. I would at the least like to be able to insert subdivisions of middle_center and the others that are full width.
In my case, I would like to have middle_center_left, middle_center_middle, middle_center_right. Perhaps we can insert into the DOM to create them and then delay loading of any module that is assigned to the location. Perhaps there is a way to manually handle that already, but I’ve not bothered yet. perhaps adding flex to the css of of middle_center would be sufficient. I suppose that is a bridge I will cross when I arrive there. -
@kayakbabe wasn’t a ‘idea’ so much as a passive aggressive point.
I’ve previously asked to add middle to the left and right to make it a true 3x3 grid for top/middle/bottom and left/center/right.
