Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
How to start?
-
I would get the basic MM software up and running, then configure it to what you want to see, then maybe create your own module.
-
@strawberry-3.141 I was thinking more of creating everything from scratch - like express server and all… I’ve taken javascript courses, I’m not pro but I know how it works and I understand how to develop the modules.
However, creating the whole system from 0 seems difficult :/ -
@antonia If you want it to work similar to MagicMirror then you will build a web page.
There you will render the modules.
To update the modules you can ask the server for updates (ajax, long-polling) or you use websockets to get updates on the fly.
On the server you need to get the data for the modules which can be rendered on the webpage.

@strawberry-3.141 thanks! I will follow the steps you suggested. I will try to do it with a simple hello world module and then build up.
-
@antonia would be interesting to see your progress, will you publish it to github?
-
@strawberry-3.141 I guess, depends on my progress :D I will keep you posted! :slight_smile:
-
@antonia thats what git is for a version control system for all changes
