I use MMM-BackgroundSlideshow to display random paintings from over 200 images. It seems to work pretty well.
All of the paintings are stored locally on the Pi, in a subdirectory of the module directory: ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/Paintings
As a heads up, MMM-SFMuniBusTimes (https://github.com/vikramraja1995/MMM-SFMuniBusTimes) no longer works due to Muni switching APIs. I’ve looked at it and have info about the new API but, honestly, I’m like a bumblebee in the deep end of a swimming pool.
One of the main reasons I wanted to build a MagicMirror was to have an easily accessible list of family members, doctors, and medicines in case of an emergency. I saw how much time it took for EMTs to try and gather that info for my mother-in-law and even then we weren’t 100% certain that the info was correct. So I built a module to display an address book.
In addition to family contact info, medical providers, and medicines we take, I use it to list travel memberships (mileage numbers and such), subscriptions and login info (Netflix, Spotify, etc.), and Utilities with account numbers and contact info. I’ve also added an instance listing our political representatives and important government contact info as we fight to slow the descent into totalitarianism.
It’s pretty flexible, I think, so hopefully others can put it to use.
A single-column instance
A two-column (the default) instance showing family contact info. (Until recently, we had two kids away at college, so a lot of different addresses)
Ugh. My apologies. I did the stop/start and rebooted and did it again and now it’s showing up on the screen. Must have been a temporary glitch or something.
Sorry to have wasted your time.

I initially wanted to create a legend for MMM-CalendarExt3 to show which calendar is what color (I show 11 calendars of the 15+ I maintain) so I created this module to put a little table below the calendar.
I’ve since added another instance to list a chart of who’s supposed to set the dinner table on which night.
I’ve tried to make it flexible enough in terms of formatting but I’m certainly no javascript programmer. Nor am I well versed in the ways of CSS.
It’s useful to me; I hope it’s useful to others as well.
A legend for CalendarExt3 calendars:
A table of who’s supposed to set the table (half the time I end up doing it):
[card:Unclearogre/MMM-CustomTable]
I’m not sure how that card is supposed to work so here’s a link:
