<![CDATA[In what way is DAKboard related to MagicMirror]]>Hi there,
I’m a huge fan of MagicMirror!

Today I stumpled over a site called DAKboard (https://dakboard.com/site).

I had to look twice because DAKboard and MagicMirror look like twins to me.
So, are these two in some way related? If so, how?

Cheers,
B

There is, after all a module here that can show pictures in the background. There is also one guy using MM without a mirror on his fridge.

Lots of cool ideas

Regarding this: The smart mirror idea has been getting some push in recent months/years and some people try to make money out of it. There’s a lot open source to build upon I guess.

I like the top weather warning bar

While there are some superficial similarities and the concept is the same, it looks to actually have different modules and views. The newsfeed sure does look the same though. I’d be curious to know what they are using (as a stack) but doubt it’s based on MM.
