I just wanted to share with you this video of transparent displays from Samsung. I haven’t seen any in real life yet, but those look really impressive. This would make a MagicMirror even more magical 💸💸💸

@karsten13 said in Automatic checking of all MagicMirror² modules:

as most modules are hosted on github: You can get such info’s over their api.

Wow. That’s really nice! There are certainly some things that can be put to good use.

After you showed me the examples, I tinkered a bit with a simple frontend (without dependencies): check it out. I just have to fill it with real data.

Many changes have been made to the official module list since my last overview on December 12. I have created a new overview for these changes. Since not everyone regularly follows the changes to the list, such a list may be helpful for some of you.

This is the second post like this. I don’t know yet if I will create further in the future and even maybe automate the process a bit. I am quite up to date with the changes as I am working on a new unofficial module list which is based on the official list.

These are the changes from 12th December 2023 to 29th January 2024. The list may be incomplete, as some parts required manual work.

Help request

Can someone with an Meteoblue API key tell whether module MMM-meteoblueCurrent still works?

I made some progress: https://kristjanesperanto.github.io/MagicMirror-3rd-Party-Modules/

There’s still a lot on the to-do list and some things aren’t working quite smoothly yet. But the website is now filled with data from all modules from the wiki.

When changes are made in the wiki, it doesn’t take much effort to update the data in this project - I just have to run a few scripts. Furthermore, no manual work is necessary.

Hello everyone!

Have you ever wondered what the most popular MagicMirror² modules are? Until now it wasn’t easy to find out. Recently, I added a new sorting feature to the new module list I am working on. It allows you to sort by GitHub stars! So now it’s easier than ever to find out which modules are the community’s favorites 😀

At the moment the top ten modules are:

1. MMM-Remote-Control (476 stars)
2. mmpm (168 stars)
3. MMM-Screencast (160 stars)
4. MMM-GooglePhotos (154 stars)
5. MMM-Todoist (147 stars)
6. MMM-Traffic (139 stars)
7. MMM-BackgroundSlideshow (130 stars)
8. MMM-pages (102 stars)
9. MMM-ModuleScheduler (96 stars)
10. WallberryTheme (94 stars)

Why is it important to star modules? Starring modules on GitHub is a great way to show your appreciation for the developers’ hard work. It also helps other users find popular modules.

How can I star a module? To star a module, simply go to the module’s GitHub page and click the “Star” button.

I encourage you to star all the modules you use and appreciate ⭐ And don’t forget to give the MagicMirror project itself a star! 🙃

I hope this new sorting option helps you find the perfect modules for your MagicMirror² setup!

Your feedback is welcome: Would you have expected these modules to be in the top 10? Which modules are not in the top 10 and should get more stars in your opinion?

@dcazman There is a working fork: https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast

I started a small project. It’s still in its early stages and I don’t know where it’s going yet, but maybe it’ll be interesting for you.

Since the quality of the modules varies greatly, I thought about how to automatically detect easily recognizable issues (e.g. typos or dependencies on deprecated packages).

Basically it already works.

This is what it does:

1. Clone all modules from the wiki page: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-party-modules
2. Search each module according to certain criteria
3. Write the result to a file

This is the result of the last check: https://github.com/KristjanESPERANTO/MagicMirror-3rd-Party-Modules/blob/main/result.md

Do you have any ideas about useful checks?

Many changes have been made to the official module list since the beginning of November. I have created an overview for this. Since not everyone regularly follows the changes to the list, such an overview may be helpful for some of you.

I don’t know yet if I will create a new list in the future and even maybe automate the process a bit. I am quite up to date of the changes as I am working on a new unofficial module list which is based on the official list.

These are the changes from November 2 to December 12. The list may be incomplete, as a part was a little manual work.

Hello Community!

I’m pleased to announce my new module, MMM-Forum, which brings unread topics, notifications and messages from this forum directly to your mirror. This module is designed to keep you up to date with what’s going on in the forum.

It should also work for other NodeBB forums, but hasn’t been tested yet. Feedback would be nice.

Here’s a (slightly doctored) screenshot of the module in action:

You can find the repository and installation instructions here: https://github.com/KristjanESPERANTO/MMM-Forum.

Your feedback is invaluable, so please share your thoughts, suggestions or any problems you encounter. I’m not that talented at web design, so please be gentle and give me some pointers, or even better a PR 😁

@MMRIZE Since more than one user is using MMM-AnotherNewsFeed, would it make sense to add it to the list of 3rd party modules? :slightly_smiling_face:
