Oh, apparently you can’t set discussion topics to resolved. Or I can’t find the button for it ^^

@karsten13
You’re right. I close the topic, then we can invest our time in other things :-)

Okay, maybe a CSS approach will be easier for you then. Here is a howto you could also try: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/typewriter-effect/

Then you would “only” have to adjust your custom.css.

Feel welcome to let us know if you’re making progress.

I don’t know how familiar you are with CSS and JavaScript, but it can’t hurt to try :-)

Nice idea :thumbsup: :-)

I would start with compliments.js and this howto:

We can’t know what kind of problems people have to deal with in real life. This does not excuse such behavior, but perhaps makes it more understandable.

To bring in a positive aspect: I am excited about the project and the community that has formed around it. Thanks to all who contributed!

That even non-professionals can participate, makes MagicMirror² an exemplary community project. He obviously doesn’t seem to understand that.

All the effort he put into his fork could have been put into the project. That would be much more durable. Apparently, not all people are good at teamwork…

Sorry if this demontivates anyone, but I thought I should mention it here anyway. I stumbled across a fork of MagicMirror²: https://github.com/hangorazvan/MagicMirror2. Forks are basically not a problem, but the creator rails against MagicMirror² and the developers. I have not seen anything like this before :-(

based on MagicMirror² open source core framework unfortunately full of bugs from amateur “developers”… NO FUCKING THANK YOU FART OLD MAN!

Why is he forking if it’s so bad? And why doesn’t he make pull requests? Has anyone seen a pull request from him? Can he do that with the other license?

Ah, I didn’t know --single-branch yet. But yes, that sounds reasonable too.

Optimizing both (git clone and npm install) would speed up the setup process, especially on slow machines. Since a simple user just copies the commands from the documentation, these changes wouldn’t complicate the process any further.

That’s interesting, but I’m talking about the official documentation here :-)

What do you think about adding --depth=1 to git clone in the documentation?

Like this: git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

This would have the positive effect that users would only have to download 437 KiB instead of 19 MiB. The whole git history is not relevant for normal users, is it?
