A software project that recreates the aesthetic of a 1980s cable community bulletin board for any display, with an emphasis on vintage CRT televisions. It provides a rotating broadcast including time and date, custom messages, fun facts, dad jokes, weather updates via Open-Meteo, and scrolling RSS news headlines in a retro ticker crawl.
Key features include:
A web-based control room for real-time customization of identity, timing, feeds, colors, and message rotation without needing to reload the screen.
Hardware optimization for Raspberry Pi users looking to feed video through HDMI-to-coax modulators or composite AV outputs into old TVs.
Integration with CheerLights to incorporate global color changes directly into the headline crawl.
Support for background music via local audio files and customizable overscan margins for vintage display compatibility.
