Thank you very much everyone for your replies ! It comforts me in the choice to use MM. As for the database, it’s a small structure so they’re not using any ERP or (I believe) any custom API, so it should be to get the output of some relatively simple SQL requests that I’ll use to make the dashboard.

If it turns out to be too complicated, I still have the option to try something in Python, but the advantage of MM in my opinion is its modules system.

Sorry,
my question is : do I have to download the content from https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror and then import it to a private repository, or should I do something else (I clicked on the + at the top right corner of the page with “import repository” thinking that it would make a “private” instance of the public repository, that I could modify). I am new to Git and I don’t want to mess up anything. Thank you.

@sdetweil Thank you, but I have to first import the repository (when you click on the +), and then add my new module right ?

Hello everyone,

I’m a beginner with MM and Git, and I’d like to develop and test a custom module. But I’m not sure to know how to setup Git with MM, so I have a got a basic question.

What I did was to import the MM repository on Git, but now I’m not sure if rather not make a new repository with the MM files on it, because maybe this should be done only if I want to modify MM which is not my case ? But I’ll not get the updates of MM if I do this ?

In a nutshell what should I do to start working on my module and testing it using Git ? It’s my first time doing it so I’m really not sure what to do…

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I am currently starting an internship which consists of making a dashboard for a service of the company. It should display some custom indicators which should be updated regularly. It should also have the possibility to add some data (such as the number of products sent to the trash daily) by filling out a form and also adding an history of the inputs.

After some research I stumbled upon MagicMirror² which seems to be adequate for this and a lot more flexible than other solutions such as Yodeck, Novisign, etc… As I am not a very advanced programmer, I have some basic notions in JS, PHP, and other languages, I would like to have your opinion on this choice in terms of feasability and difficulty to make it in a period of 1 month. Initially, it was planned to make something in Python, but after having showed MM to my tutor he was enthusiastic about it. I’d be glad to get your feedback about it.

Thank you.
