      Hi,

      I’m envisioning using MM as a Family Dashboard in/near our kitchen. I’m wondering if there a way to also use it as a cookbook when making dinner. If I have a website that has a recipe I’m trying to follow, would there be any way to put that website up on the screen? I’m open to any brainstorming but need it to be easy so my wife and kids could use it.

      If I could “Cast” a webpage to a module, that would be great, but I haven’t found one of those.
      Is there a way to display a static webpage in a module, and I could just have an empty page unless I save the web page to a certain file in my OneDrive or something, and then MM could show it?
      I could take a screenshot of the recipe, save it as a certain file, in a certain location, and MM could show it if that file exists. If not, it’d just show nothing?

      I don’t know. Really just wondering if this is possible in any way that anyone has come up with.

      Thanks!
