So, is this what you want similar?

If what you want is “censoring some improper articles”, it is already applied in original newsfeed module. (See prohibitedWords option)

@Adam-2
You can assign and deliver some instanceID to distinguish which instance of your module transfers this notification.
Or you can use Promise.race()(to confirm first socketNotification coming from any instance) or Promise.allSettled()(to confirm entire socketNotifications delivered from all instances even though fail or not) in node_helper to check socketNotifications receiving. (Anyway, you need to check how many instances there exist before promise racing)

• node_helper cannot know other module’s status directly. It lies on another layer of the architecture.
• It sounds somewhat weird node_helper has to interact with other modules. Generally A module has to interact with other modules. node_helper is a helper for a specific module to handle things out of MM/browser front level.
• Module notification DOM_OBJECTS_CREATED is regarded as a signal of ‘all modules are displayed’. You can deliver socketNotification to your node_helper to start your job when this notification is caught.

@MagicBeginner

PROS

• Not so difficult to make your own module (of course, it depends on how complex or simple it is)
• As long as you don’t care about direct input from each instance, you can extend the screen instances as many as possible (Server-Client mode)
• Learning curve of nodeJS is not so steep, at least to make a simple MM module.

CONS

• MM has a limited UI framework, so the Design itself might have some limits. (e.g. Layout) You can overcome it with some CSS tricks or modification of the source, anyway, It is not quite pretty. (of course, the beauty is relative)
• MM framework is not VUE or REACT or an equivalent framework to other languages. You need to control everything by yourself with code. It is not so difficult, but somehow boring/annoying.
• Anyway, you learn NodeJS, HTML, CSS, Handling I/O and Networks for your purpose.

@Dav8574
??? I cannot understand what you meant. Explain in more detail what you want.

@OliWer
:) CX3 indeed.

@OliWer

Thanks for using CX2. I think it is an almost-perfect module which I made. However, some people feel so difficult to use it. So I made a new one, CX3

While CX2 is enough for your purpose, just use it until you find a better alternative.
Anyway, I will not maintain it in near future. The most main reason is, that it is too heavy and severely dependent on other node-dependencies.

For the ExtPlan (and agenda view), I will provide an equivalent module for CX2 someday.

A combination of cron and some commandable - Notification emittable modules would work.

I prefer Khadas VIM series, Just one of the thinnest form factors(11.5mm), which has enough ports. There definitely exist so many smaller SBCs but they do have not enough connectivities and power as Khadas VIM series.
You can make your MagicMirror thinner. (as long as you need it…)

2. You need any “Commandable” module like MMM-Touch for touchscreen or MMM-GroveGestures for gesture sensor or MMM-RemoteControl or MMM-GoogleAssistant or any module which can emit custom notifications by your intentional condition.

3. Show me your config. which symbol were you trying? With default symbol everything was ok?
