Unbelievable! MagicMirror is voted number 1 in the MagPi Top 50.

Of all the awesome Raspberry Pi projects around the world, the Raspberry Pi community has chosen the MagicMirror project as the number one project. You guys can’t believe how extremely proud I am!

For anyone who voted: thank you very very much!

Dear MagicMirror Community,

As we step into 2024, MagicMirror marks a significant milestone - a decade of innovation, collaboration, and growth. Ten years ago, I embarked on an incredible journey with the inception of the MagicMirror project on GitHub. It has been an honor and a privilege to witness this project evolve, driven by the passion and dedication of a vibrant and creative community.

However, life is an ever-changing tapestry, and with new priorities and paths unfolding for me, the time has come to make a pivotal decision. Recognizing that my ability to invest the energy and attention MagicMirror deserves is diminishing, I have decided that it is in the best interest of the project to transition its stewardship to those who can carry its legacy forward with renewed vigor and vision.

Today, I am announcing the transfer of the MagicMirror repository to a new GitHub organization. This move is not an end, but rather a new beginning - a step towards transforming MagicMirror into a fully community-led project. It is my firm belief that this transition will open new avenues for innovation and growth, ensuring that MagicMirror continues to thrive and adapt in the ever-evolving tech landscape.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to MagicMirror over the past decade. Your contributions, big and small, have been the lifeblood of this project, and I am deeply thankful for your support and enthusiasm.

As we move forward, I want to assure you that this transition will be smooth and thoughtful. The repository’s shift to a new organization is just the first step in this transformation. In the future, we may also transition other components of the project, such as the website, forum, and servers, to ensure that MagicMirror continues to be supported and nurtured by its community.

I am excited to see where you, the community, will take MagicMirror next. Here’s to a future filled with innovation, collaboration, and success.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey.

Warm regards,

Michael Teeuw

Because the documentation was getting more extensive than I ever expected, I created a separate docs website:

https://docs.magicmirror.builders

This way the docs is are better readable and better maintainable. It also allows us to update the docs without the need of releasing a new MagicMirror release.

Head over to the new docs site and let me know what you think. I’ll continue to work on the content. Feel free to send me PR’s if you want help out.

Good to know: every page includes an edit link on the bottom which will generate a PR.

I’ve updated all MagicMirror² sites (home, forum, readme) to reflect this change. If you find a page that needs an update, please let me know.

As far as I know the largest Magic Mirror so far:

More info: http://michaelteeuw.nl/post/150349424992/mirror-mirror-on-the-wall-who-has-the-biggest-of

Because the number of modules you guys created grew FAR above what I expected when I started this project, I think it couldn’t hurt to improve the discoverability of the modules. Because of this, I’m working on a new and improved website which includes a module search …

In the future, I’ll add:

• Module suggestions based on the modules you like.
• Similar modules on a module page.
• Modules per user (“Other modules by this developer”)

If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know, although I won’t promise anything…

It’s far beyond finished, but if you’re curious, feel free to check out the very early beta version:

http://beta.magicmirror.builders/modules

If you login with your github account, you should be able to add your modules. As a test I added some random modules.

Please note that I might need to reset the database in the future. So don’t spent too much time on adding your modules. (Although a filled database would be helpful in the development.)
