It is the future. Your mirror tells you the news, checks your mood, and shows you comics. Information just radiates out as you check your hair.

Important Thing
This app is unusual in that it should be run behind a two-way acrylic mirror.
Steps to set up the mirror are playfully described here: https://github.com/HannahMitt/HomeMirror

I turned on a thing and I don't see it?
Many of the features are written to only show up when they're most relevant.

There's a bug!
Agh! Dang! Please use the issue tracker on the Github repo to report bugs https://github.com/HannahMitt/HomeMirror/issues

I'd like the mirror to do something FANCY

Wonderful application. My only suggestion would be a way to have the app start up in the "mirror mode" without having to press the launch button.

The News Headline will be better looking if it looks like a newspaper. With image content. Not just a scrolling text, so the user does not have to wait for the next word to come out. Hope you understand, cheer!

Great app and great project from Adafruit. Suggestions Use the camera to sense motion and activate the display Shift the display output a few pixels regularly to avoid image retention Ability to post notes to be displayed Thanks

This is a very cool application and a project I plan on building soon. There are a couple feature requests that I would like to add. -In addition to the current weather, could there be an option to add a 1-day or 3 day forecast? While I like having the current conditions, I would be mounting this in a mirror next to my front door so I can look out the window ;-) -It would be nice to be able to see the top 5 headlines instead of the same one scrolling over and over.

Some suggestions: the ability to sync from google keep, AP news feed updates instead of BBC, sports scores, Google maps travel times to a preprogrammed address. I hope to see more updates soon.

I can't seem to get calendar events to work. And are sports scores coming in the future?

M70%
by M####:

Works great, as advertised! It'd be fun to have motion detection to turn screen on/off. Could it be possible to have the BBC headline not scroll but just show as a static text box as an option?

Wonderful application. My only suggestion would be a way to have the app start up in the "mirror mode" without having to press the launch button.

I think to make it more powerful it should have some type of IFTTT integration with the Maker channel.

A70%
by A####:

Good app, useful and I appreciate the screen rotation. Only things I wished it had was weather for the coming day and the ability to move items around the display

M70%
by M####:

Hi, I love this app but it could be even better with icons for the weather forecast and the weather for the next few days!

M70%
by M####:

Please make your app so that it can run without touch luanch button. Thank you.

U70%
by U####:

Works great! Ideas for future updates: Icons depicting weather conditions to go along with the forecast would add a nice visual touch. Also, the ability to have more news updates, or even add selected sources for news would be fantastic! Keep up the great work!
