I can't really tell what this is, and when I click the tell me more, it only asks me to login. I _think_ it's just a raspberry pi, but maybe it includes some sort of display? Is it internet connected? Is there an app for it that I can update the display? If yes to these questions, I really like the idea.


Need to work on explaining this better on the landing page but wanted to get something out to people as soon as possible.

Basically it's a hosted slides service designed for kiosk screens. I provide the platform and a simple image for the Raspberry Pi so for a very low cost for the hardware (which you buy yourself) you can run slides on a screen.

It's aimed for places like galleries, independent cinemas, cafes and small businesses who want to put up advertising or show times onto a screen without needing to contract out specialists.

You build slideshows and assign them to screens which you can remotely push updates to.

Edit: Just for a bit of context this project has only had about 10 hours of my time from idea to it's current state so it's still in very early days.
