ExpressJS

ExpressJS is a web application framework that provides you with a simple API to build
websites, web apps and back ends. With ExpressJS, you need not worry about low level
protocols, processes, etc.
What is Express?
Express provides a minimal interface to build our applications. It provides us the tools that
are required to build our app. It is flexible as there are numerous modules available
on npm, which can be directly plugged into Express.
Express was developed by TJ Holowaychuk and is maintained by the Node.js foundation
and numerous open source contributors.
Why Express?
Unlike its competitors like Rails and Django, which have an opinionated way of building
applications, Express has no "best way" to do something. It is very flexible and pluggable.
Pug
Pug (earlier known as Jade) is a terse language for writing HTML templates. It -
 Produces HTML
 Supports dynamic code
 Supports reusability (DRY)
It is one of the most popular template language used with Express.
MongoDB and Mongoose
MongoDB is an open-source, document database designed for ease of development and
scaling. This database is also used to store data.
Mongoose is a client API for node.js which makes it easy to access our database from our
Express application.

I found a 24" old LCD at Goodwill (a local thrift shop) and bought it but it's been sitting unused in my garage. Then I stumbled on  DakBoard . The idea is simple - A wifi connected wall display for your photos, calendar, news, weather and to-do. The implementation is simple genius. It's a browser that starts up full screen (kiosk mode) and just sits there and updates occasionally. DakBoard provides the private webpage and tools to make that happen. You can certainly build this yourself with any number of open source tools. I chose  DakBoard  because it was simple, beautiful, and I was able to get the whole thing done in less than an hour. I'm sure I'll spend many hours tweaking it through. There's also the very popular  MagicM
