    Someone posted a link to this on the MagicMiror forum so I gave it a look. I'm glad I did. I see you're using the MMM-EyeCandy module. I wrote that module for the mirror a few years ago. It's nice to see people are still using it. Nice work on your mirror!

      I was thinking the same thing! So many makers on UA-cam have these HUGE workshops with a bunch of super expensive CNC machines. Watching them I think "that's super cool, I wish I had a million dollars so I could do that too." This is also super cool but also attainable. This makes me think "I should go do something super cool myself." Love it!!

    I just recently made my own magic mirror. I really enjoyed your personal customizations and it's given me some ideas for my next mirror project.
    I separated the Magic Mirror server/client configuration so, I could run the MM server on an old laptop already being used as a development web server. Then installed the MM client on the Raspberry Pi and made it reachable across my network. The MM client uses significantly fewer resources and I even got it running smoothly on a Gen1 Pi Zero Wireless. Now, I can easily spin up multiple MM client instances for other mirrors, or set the MM dashboard web interface URL as a new tab window for my web browser to keep me informed.
