A long-time ChoreBuster user, Eric, has done some very clever things to create a home dashboard that displays chores allocated by ChoreBuster:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“To give you some background I have 4 children and smart wall\/calendar that I setup and installed off of my kitchen. I wanted the ability to easily add a chore chart to the screen and experimented in different ways of doing it. I’m pretty techy so at one point I had a postgres database hosted on my unraid server and was adding records for each kid and then querying the database via API to get JSON responses which I then formatted onto my digital screen. It was great except it didn’t pass the wife approval test (WAF). This led me down the road of looking for something that did this and I spent a good 6 months researching reddit, magicmirror and the internet looking for an easy to manage solution.

I’ve been using chorebuster now for almost 5 years and I love it. Its a daily driver in my house to keep everyone on track with what daily chores they have to help with. I ended up going with Dakboard<\/a> for my digital screen due to the headache of maintaining magicmirror<\/a> (corrupt build’s on my server and the headache of making things look good). With dakboard all I had to do was write some simple script to pull the chore’s by person and display it. The code I use is attached for reference<\/a> and a screenshot. You’ll see the chores in the right side of the screen which dynamically updates each morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for such a great app!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
