Running off a raspberry pi, the mirror displays current and daily weather, news, a clock, and github pull request notifications.

cd magic-mirror
npm install
npm start
I wanted to combine my love of hardware with the JavaScript skills I have learned in the past 4 months at Turing Software and Design.
The mirror is designed to run off a single Raspberry Pi 3 with Rasberian OS. Electron bundles the React/Redux program, enabling the software to run on the pi.

Currently I would like to focus on a new user experience, such as enabling them a clean and easy install of the software.
I am noticing the cpu on the pi to run upwards of 60% and also some minor heating issues on there as well. I plan to focus on making the React/Redux code to run more efficient.
- A physical button used to refresh data on the screen.
- Motion activated screen that turns off/on when user appears/dissapears.
- Integrate google calender and google maps to render daily events and transportation times.
- Voice capability by Alexa with custom voice commands.
