Hi everyone!
I am David Gölzhäuser, 21 Years old from Bavaria (Germany) and working as a Software Developer in the Austrian Home Automation Company Loxone.
I made my first MagicMirror this year and I am planing on making more for our apartments next year to greet our visitors:)
I have already contributed to a number of MagicMirror modules and even the MagicMirror project itself.
You can find me on my Website
Oh, and here are the modules I made :winking_face:

Hello
New here
Can someone please help me with creating a module that will display student grades. I really need it for my thesis. -
@ezrael-villan I recogmend you to start a new Topic. This is one is for introducing yourself.

Hi all, i am Roxx aka Nelson, aged 26 from Ahmedabad, india. I came to know about magic mirror from YouTube. Its so exciting to have one so i started building one for myself a week ago…
I haven’t learned any programming or anything complicated, i am just 10 grade pass, havent studied further… i am very much interested in computers, hardware & software, robotics, motorcycles, exploring… all that i know, i have learnt from internet and by practically breaking, disassembling, re-assembling gadgets, pc, tv, ac, home appliances, etc… i always want to open it, study how it works, how could i make it better and close it!! … i make simple stuff at home, diy, modify PC’s & Motorcycles, handyman job, etc.
Previously, i had bought arduino to make a clock but before i could make anything i lost it and dont remember where i kept it…
Now i am working to make touchscreen magic mirror since 1st jan 2019, i ordered raspberry 3b+, hdmi cable, sd card, power adaptor,… i got these minimum components and started… I have a 50inch tv at home so for now i am trying to get MM fully functional, then i will buy touchscreen and two way mirror and build Touchscreen Magic Mirror…
I collected all my old pc & laptop hardware to use for MM like ac-dc adaptors, wires, cooling fans, led’s, switches, etc. i wish to setup multiple cooling fans for the Rpi and the wooden frame, etc…
currently, i am having problems with modules in MM, hardest part for me is the programming language, editing the config file, modules, etc…
After coming to this website i noticed, its raspberry and not rasberry!
Thanks!

Hi I’m new, almost 50, thought I’d try a magicmirror without the mirror, using a PI2 and 20" monitor

Hi all, newbie incoming! Swiss guy around 40, really into tech stuff, in need for some new challenges. About 4 Rpi runnings and another one incoming (zero w… Guess what for ;) )
I’m much more into soldering and hardware hack than programming.
Hope to get and give some help.
English or French is ok, german… nur ein bisschenRegards

@analogcheep give this a try as will need little programming and gives you bit more of the config

[edit]
Scrap that as after some playing now do things totally different and its much easier for the zero. Slightly unsure why such complicated methods exist for the pi0 as its really simple.
Haven’t even bothered with a script as its easy and the NodeJS tools are extremely user friendly.

Try that instead now I have a week under my belt with a zero and MM :) -
Hello my name is Steve, I’m retired and trying to keep the old mind sharp. Creating my first MagicMirror has really helped. It was a tremendous struggle. There is a whole new mindset and language to learn when it comes to talking and coding and working with MagicMirror. Took me awhile to catch on. Before I started all I wanted to do was figure a way to automate some window blinds in a upstairs window. YouTube introduces me to Arduino then Esp8266 then Raspberry pi. Then Raspberry pi introduces me to MagicMirror. Have forgotten the automated blinds. So I guess I’ll see you around.

Hello everyone,
I work at a school and thought this Raspberry Pi project would be perfect for a bulletin board.
It is definitely more involved than I thought it would be. But its been a great learning experience.
Still working out the bugs though. Hopefully have it bug free soon!

Hi, my name is Joe
Im 29 year old from Philadelphia, PA, USA and became interested in building my own smart mirror after seeing one in a department store a few years ago.
I’ve always considered myself tech-savvy but after diving into this, it seems as if my expertises hardly surpassed those who could restart a router lol.
I suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2009, after being mugged by two unknown individuals-- they shot me in the back of my head =/
Despite making-- virtually-- a full recovery, I still suffer memory, comprehension, and concentration issues. Before I get off-topic, I want to say how Michael’s Magic Mirror is what I happened to stumble upon during my hunt for the “smart mirror in the department store.”
I eventually gathered all the materials needed to build my first mirror and proudly fiddle around with it-- tweaking it every chance I get.
I have little knowledge in comp. sci-- being a communications major-- but consider this a huge, new-ish interest of mine.
edit: I just wanted to add how working on the MM has been a form of therapy for me, over the years, and wanted to thank you–Michael and everybody involved-- for this community and making this a project that even I can understand with enough digging.
I just want to apologize now for any and all weirdly worded queries I might have… -
Joe,
I dare speak for everyone when I say, “You are most welcome here.” I’m in NYC. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions. There are plenty of knowledgeable and helpful people here. Go Eagles!
-
@Mykle1
NYC, cool… have you been living there long? Idk where I read it, but I assumed you were living in Germany.
Anyways, thank you and it’s funny that you mentioned the Eagles since I have made a slide (using MM-Carousel) dedicated to the Eagles and NFL lol.
Your work is much appreciated, here =D -

Nein! ;-)
Born and raised and live right here.
Glad you’re enjoying MM. I found it 3 years ago and I’m still having fun with it.
-
Nein! ;-)
Lmao, touche =P
Oh, wow 3 years? That was around the time I started this project… Im sorry to hear about the Giants-- not really, though-- but wanna say that Ima follow you on insta-- easier to talk through there, personally.

Hello! My name is Andrew, I’m 32 years old and currently living in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. I am an electrical engineer and systems analyst turned patent attorney.
I recently found your project again and am hoping to make use of it in the coming months. You all have done tremendous work on this project and I look forward to further enhancements.
-
So, I am Bernard from South Africa. I have been running my mirror for almost 2 years now and loving it. Remodeled my place last week and now I need to find a new home for my mirror. I am a Systems Analyst by trade and code in my spare time. This is an awesome project and I love helping people on the forum who are facing issues etc. Great project guys.
