[Suggestion] Wireless sync

[magroski]

From what I saw, you have to hard code your calendar, stocks, birthdays and such before compiling and deploying the code. It'd be cool if a future version provided wireless sync with another device. It'd probably need the coding of a second app to allow your mirror to mirror - pun intended - your main device.

Alternatively, the app could be a regular webview, showing a custom website for the mirror. This way one could update the webpage from anywhere, and the app would show the updated webpage.

Could be quickly done with meteorjs. Push working code and connected client will refresh itself automagically :)

Yeah 👍 for meteorjs @GabLeRoux, for personal 1-off projects it's a good choice for a simple text website that makes development (front/backend changes) super quick. Although hosting it somewhere is still a problem, the buildpack on heroku for it is mega slow to compile new deployed changes. And you'd have to probably pre-boot ping a free dyno to wake it up around the time of day you want to look at your mirror... rabbit hole. I'll stop here.

Though one could buid a Cordova wrapper with its WebView pointing to a remote static web site. Being static it can be hosted on whatever you need / want. It will be easy to update and it can be done in whatever your preference are in terms of MVW (AngularJS, React, etc.). Also minifing (e.g. with Gulp) the app with gulp could drammatically reduce the number of files: usually one js and one css.

Here an interesting article on how to dinamically load webviews in Cordova / PhoneGap.

Alternatively, you could run a local Web server on the tablet and configure it from a html page on your phone/laptop

I've created Pull Request #23 to allow for configuration from another device.

I've made the app configurable in-app before launch. There's pros/cons to my method, but I thought it would make it simpler as a stand-alone Google Play store app.

Please feel free to maintain a branched wireless sync version, but I'm going to close this issue for now.
