    I didn’t want to start a separate thread for this, but I didn’t want to leave it unmentioned here in the forum either 🙂 The website has undergone a major modernization. Mainly technical changes under the hood and the design has been retained except for a few details. But there are also a few things that regular users of the site might notice: For example there is now a dark mode, responsiveness and accessibility have been improved, there is a favicon, an animated GIF showing the MagicMirror interface and faster loading times. https://magicmirror.builders/

    @joey Had not thought about using laptop with dead screen to run MM or other OS on. I have one I could work with, to try out different OS’s.

    That’s an interesting idea, especially if the goal is to move away from cloud-dependent photo services. A local PhotoPrism module feels very much in the spirit of self-hosted and privacy-first workflows. If the images are already accessible via a local API or filesystem path, it sounds feasible at least at a prototype level. Even with limited programming experience, starting small (read-only image display, basic refresh) could be a good way to learn while building something useful. I’ve seen people take a similar approach with small side tools first, sometimes even experimenting with lightweight generators (like a brat generator) just to understand how UI, data, and rendering fit together before tackling a bigger integration. There’s likely interest here, especially from others trying to de-Google their setups. Posting progress updates might help attract collaborators once you get a basic proof of concept going.

    @techeros part of the problem is that people ‘assume’ that data entry (making calendar entries, updating chore lists, adding to shopping lists) is ‘built in’, ’ of course’… we don’t have that… the design for MM is a composable(different modules for different data sources) information panel. data entry is phone, display is MM. and then there is a whole HOST of fun things, dakboard has this ‘cool’ white background… MM is black, and all the modules are transparent, showing the black. change the background to white (easy), but the modules do not auto adjust cause they are all user developed and didn’t use the built in styles…

    @videogame95 I’m not aware of any touchscreen that will work behind glass. This glass is not like stuff on phones More times than not you have to put an IR frame in front of the glass and plug it into a usb port( it becomes a mouse, touch = click)

    @lif Thank you very much, I didn’t think of such a solution, even though I work a lot with Gemini. It generated a module, but I can’t test it until tomorrow!Thank you very much, I didn’t think of such a solution, even though I work a lot with Gemini.
