A New Chapter for MagicMirror: The Community Takes the Lead

@Throbinskin very cool… now, all output is doable… but we don’t have any local (keyboard/mouse/touch) input driven modules. (create cal entries, add to shopping list, etc)

best is voice thru google assistant or a real alexa device.
add calendar entry and then it will show on wherever you choose to expose calendar

there are photo viewers, they take from google photos, … local files.
I have a module that can allow you to upload from your phone (via qr code)
(great for upload pics while visiting)

you’ll need to either use a service like google photos or find you own file
transfer mechanism between systems… some of the NAS servers can run MM server mode
and provide file access services… (I am just spinning up a Synlogy NAS at home for all this)

make sure you add some admin type access via remote…
see the Cloudflare tunneling which can provide vnc or ssh to the system without opening any ports on their netwokr or yours

use docker as much as you can, then u don’t have all this software to install and maintain.
