Replacement for MMM button due to Node-Abi error.

Replacement for MMM button
Hello to all,
since MMM-Button has not been maintained and updated for 5-6 years, the Node-Abi problem has not been solved and the workarounds do not work, is there an alternative?

Thanks
Robert

@robiv8 use my fork

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Buttons

problem is the electron-rebuild was installed in the module folder
instead of the MM folder… so it couldn’t find the electron info

i fixed the package,json, and a made an external postinstall script
to install eb in the mm folder if not present and then npm install works
