SPLIT-FLAP DISPLAYS FOR OFFICES & WORKPLACES
Give the workplace a board that flips meeting rooms, live KPIs, and a lobby welcome into clean split-flap type. Offices run flaps.tv in a browser on the screens already on the wall — fork a dashboard template, wire it to your data, and let metrics update themselves in real time.
A live GitHub repo board that flips stars, forks, and open-issue counts plus the latest release tag for facebook/react, each fed by the public GitHub API. Engineering teams put it on the office TV to watch a release land or a star milestone tick past. Swap two URLs to track your own repository instead.
A matrix rain scene that streams green code glyphs down a 12x44 split-flap grid, with trails seven flaps long and a dense 0.7 fill. It sets the mood in developer offices, maker spaces, gaming rooms, and cyber-themed venues without looping video files. Palette, glyph set, speed, and density are all editable presets.
A full-screen ambient scene that sweeps a rainbow wave diagonally across a 12x44 grid of split flaps, rendered at 60 FPS in the browser. It gives lobbies, parties, and studios a kinetic visual break between information boards, or a standalone mood display. Direction, density, speed, and loop behavior are all adjustable after forking.
A public library events board that flips the next program time from today's schedule, pulls upcoming public holidays from a live API feed, and cycles hours and visitor reminders in a ticker. Sized at 11x42 for a lobby TV near the front desk, it covers programs, closures, and holds pickup in one glance.
A New Year countdown board that flips away the seconds to midnight, January 1, 2027 — in whatever timezone the TV is in — under a gold "new year 2027" header and above two resolution lines about making every second count. Parties, bars, offices, and living rooms cast it to the big screen for a built-in ball-drop moment; the final minute is pure flip noise.
A launch war-room board with a countdown to the ship date, a launch-readiness progress bar sitting at 82%, and a status ticker flipping through press queued, email ready, and demo room live. Startup teams run it on the office TV through the final weeks so everyone works against the same clock. Change the target date once and the tension takes care of itself.
A live GitHub star counter that reads the public repository API and flips stargazer count, fork count, and the latest release tag — preloaded with vercel/next.js as the example. Point the three data widgets at your own repo URL and the board becomes a real-time traction display for dev offices, launch livestreams, and conference booths.
A school dismissal board that counts down to the next pickup wave — 2:45, 2:55, 3:05, and 3:15 — while a blue ticker tracks bus A loading, bus C waiting, and the car line, above a "keep pickup cards visible" reminder. Front offices aim it out a lobby window or at the parent loop so families know exactly when their wave is called.
A classic split-flap train departure board listing morning services to New Haven, Grand Central, Stamford, and Bridgeport with time, destination, and track columns. A next-train widget counts down to the 08:15 and rolls through five departures in sequence. Hang it in a station cafe, a model railway room, or a transit-themed office for the authentic Solari atmosphere.
A hotel lobby display that welcomes guests with the property name, live local weather, and the current time in a classic split-flap style. Beneath "the grand hotel" headline, a weather widget shows Miami conditions and a clock keeps lobby time, with check-in hours and the concierge extension in muted footer lines. It reads like the arrivals board of a grand rail terminal.
An engineering status board that shows live GitHub status, open incident count, deploy notes, and the on-call rotation on an office TV. It ships already wired to the GitHub status API, alongside a zero-incident counter, a deploy ticker ("production healthy", "release window 3pm"), and primary/secondary on-call names. Point the data widget at your own status page and the board becomes your team's heads-up display.
A startup metrics board that puts MRR, activation rate, churn, and runway on an office TV in a split-flap layout founders actually read. Defaults show $127k MRR, a 42% activation progress bar, 1.8% churn, and 18 months of runway, with a muted focus line underneath. Fork it, plug in your own numbers, and let the flipping digits keep the whole team honest.
A sales KPI dashboard for TVs that tracks daily bookings, total pipeline, quota progress, and recent wins on a split-flap wallboard. The default layout shows $48.2k booked today, a $1.8m pipeline, a 74% quota progress bar, and a ticker cycling closed deals like "northstar closed". Hang it on the sales floor so the whole team watches the numbers flip as they change.
An office lobby welcome board that greets visitors with your company name, today's date, live local weather, and the current time on a reception TV. Muted lines beneath the split-flap headline hold the guest Wi-Fi network and check-in instructions, so front-desk questions answer themselves. Built at 11 rows by 40 columns for the wide screens common behind reception desks.
A meeting room display board that shows the next booking, live room status, the current time, and rotating handoff notes on any office TV. The layout pairs a next-meeting widget cycling through 09:00, 10:30, 13:00, and 15:30 slots with tickers for availability and AV notes like the HDMI cable and Zoom bar. Mount it outside Room Atlas so teams see status before they knock.
An SEO agency reporting board that flips organic traffic (42.8k in the template), lead count, and a top-10 rankings progress bar, with a ticker of next actions like refreshing title tags. Agencies run it on the office wall between client reviews, or on a meeting-room TV during the monthly report. Every metric and action item is editable.
A calm ambient scene that drifts weather-styled particles across a 12x44 split-flap grid in a cool palette at gentle intensity. It suits hotel lobbies, spa relaxation rooms, and waiting areas that want quiet motion rather than messaging. Style, palette, density, speed, and intensity are adjustable, and it pairs well between informational scenes.
A high-contrast alert board that flips status messages like "all clear" or "shelter in place" in red, alongside live local weather and instruction lines such as "use stairwells" and "meet at north lot." Facilities teams keep it as a standby scene for office, school, and venue TVs. Every status and instruction is editable after forking.
A church service board that flips the next service time from the day's schedule, cycles group meetups like youth and choir, and scrolls announcements welcoming guests. It fits a narthex or fellowship hall TV where members pause on the way in. Fork it and enter your own service times, groups, and welcome messages.
A retirement countdown clock that flips the days until the last working day beside an 83% "plan" progress bar and a ticker of send-off items like booking the trip and finishing the handoff. Teams run it in the office for a colleague's final stretch, or retirees keep it at home. Fork it and set the real retirement date.
A prayer times board that flips the next upcoming prayer from the day's five scheduled times, plus separate jumu'ah times for Friday. Built for mosque lobbies, community rooms, and homes, it includes a quiet reminder line to silence phones. Fork it and enter your community's own timetable in the two schedule widgets.
A market watchlist board with a four-symbol table — AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA — showing last price and daily move color-coded green for gains and orange for losses, plus a pre-market session line and a notes row flagging Fed minutes at 2pm. Trading desks, offices, and investor lounges run it as an at-a-glance market wall that starts static and can go live.
An esports match board showing the map rotation — Ascent, Mirage, Summoner's Rift — a 1-1 series counter, a countdown to match start, and a caster ticker for format and break notes. Gaming lounges, team houses, and watch parties run it beside the main screen as a physical-feeling match HUD, every row flipping like a Solari board at 60 FPS.
A pickup basketball scoreboard with big flip counters for home (18) and away (16), a running game clock, and a ticker holding court rules — winner stays, next up red team, first to 21. Gyms, rec centers, and office courts run it on a wall TV so nobody argues the score. Update the numbers from a laptop or phone and the wall display flips over.
A campus events board that counts down to the next event, cycles today's lineup — career fair, film club, guest lecture, open lab — and flips announcements like late library hours and finals-week coffee. Student centers, libraries, and department lobbies run it as always-on signage that student workers can update in a browser without a designer or a print run.
A parking availability board showing 128 open spaces and per-level fill bars — level 2 at 78%, level 3 at 42% — above a rotating entry ticker with gate-tap, EV-spot, and height-limit notes. Drivers at the ramp get an instant read on where to park before they commit. Facilities teams at venues, hospitals, and offices run it on any TV at the garage entrance.
A ferry terminal board that counts down to the next sailing, rotates dock assignments, and pulls live wind speed from the Open-Meteo API so passengers see conditions before boarding. Sailings at 07:40, 08:20, 09:05, and 10:00 cycle through the next-sailing widget while a notices row flips boarding rules like "bikes board first." Suited to terminal waiting rooms, harbor offices, and waterfront restaurants.
A bus arrivals board that cycles routes 12 downtown, 19 crosstown, and 42 express, counts down to the next bus, and shows live Seattle weather above an orange service-alerts ticker. Built for transit lobbies, campus shuttle stops, and apartment buildings near a stop. Alerts like "use rear doors" and "detour on pine" flip through on their own dedicated row.
A dental office queue board that shows when the next chair opens, how far appointments are running behind, and rotating front-desk notes. A next-chair widget counts down through morning slots like 09:00 and 09:45, a counter shows the practice running 4 minutes late, and a ticker cycles reminders about forms, the kids' prize box, and rescheduling by text.
A museum visitor information board showing the next guided tour, the next gallery talk, and rotating notices on a split-flap lobby screen. Tour times cycle through 10:00 to 16:00 while talks count down on their own line, and a ticker flips through notes like "east wing open" and the shop's closing time, with last admission in the footer. Visitors plan their route the moment they walk in.
A coworking space welcome board with today's date, local weather, the member Wi-Fi network, and a rotating community announcements ticker. Defaults greet members over Austin weather and flip through notes like the founder lunch at noon and Friday's demo night. Put it at the entrance so members catch events they would otherwise miss in a buried Slack channel.
A spa availability board that shows the next open appointment slot, local weather, and a rotating list of today's treatments on a lobby screen. A next-opening widget cycles through slots like 10:15 and 14:30, Palm Springs weather sits alongside, and a quiet ticker flips through deep tissue, facials, and sauna hours. Walk-ins see exactly when they can be seen.
A hotel event schedule board that lists today's functions by room with a live next-event countdown for lobby and conference-floor TVs. The layout names the grand ballroom, sky terrace, and garden room, cycles bookings like the breakfast buffet, sales summit, and wedding reception, and counts down to the next start time. Guests find their event without stopping at the desk.
An executive daily briefing board that combines the current time, local weather, month-to-date revenue, and a rotating focus list on one office TV. Defaults show a live clock, New York weather, $812k MTD, and a ticker cycling through priorities like renewals, hiring, and launch readiness. A leader gets the day's picture in one glance instead of five dashboards.
A call center wallboard that puts queue depth, average wait, service level, and agents ready on one split-flap TV display. The default layout shows 12 callers in queue, a 02:14 average wait, a 91% service-level progress bar, and 24 agents available — the four numbers every floor supervisor watches. Color coding turns the queue orange so pressure is visible across the room.
A warehouse operations board that tracks pick rate, order progress, dock activity, and the safety streak on a large floor TV. Defaults show 184 picks per hour, a 68% orders progress bar, a rotating dock ticker ("dock 2 loading", "forklift lane clear"), and 41 days safe. Shift leads and pickers read the day's pace from across the floor.
A customer support wallboard that shows open tickets, SLA health, CSAT, and rotating handoff notes on a TV above the support team. Defaults display 37 open tickets, an 86% SLA progress bar, 94% CSAT, and a ticker with escalation reminders like "watch enterprise queue". Agents see queue pressure at a glance instead of digging through the help desk.
A compact conference room schedule board that shows the next booking, room capacity, AV connections, and the current time on one split-flap screen. The layout stacks a next-meeting widget cycling through five daily slots over a capacity line for eight seats, an HDMI note, and a polite reminder to end meetings on time. Made for the smaller displays mounted beside shared rooms.
Workplace boards that stay current without IT tickets
The failure mode of office screens is staleness — a dashboard screenshot from March still greeting visitors in July. flaps.tv boards fix that by updating themselves: wire a number widget to a JSON endpoint from Stripe, your CRM, or an internal service, and the lobby metric flips within a second of the value changing. Live sources come with the Business plan; anything without an API stays a manual cell that still pushes to the screen instantly when edited.
Match each screen to its audience. Reception wants a welcome board flipping visitor names and a clean company metric; the sales pod wants quota bars and a close countdown; engineering wants deploys, uptime, and the sprint burndown. Each team forks its own template, sets its own colors and layout, and every board hangs off one dashboard — so facilities keeps control of what plays where without becoming the bottleneck for every text change.
Use scenes to make one TV do several jobs: a metrics scene for most of the loop, a meeting-room availability scene fed from your calendar tool, and an all-hands countdown that appears the week before. Durations are per scene and the rotation runs unattended. Hardware is whatever is already on the wall — a Chromecast or smart TV browser opens the board's URL — and going live starts at $8/mo per display, free while you build.

- 02Live KPI and revenue dashboards
- 03Sprint burndown and deploy counts
- 04Lobby welcome for visiting clients
- 05All-hands and town-hall countdown
- 06Support queue and SLA board
Can the board pull our KPIs from tools like a CRM or analytics dashboard?
Yes — connect any JSON or API source and flaps.tv flips the latest numbers in real time, so the lobby metric is never a stale screenshot.
Does showing room availability require a new booking system?
No. If your calendar or room tool exposes a feed, the board reads it and flips each room's status live; no extra hardware goes on the wall.
Can different teams run their own boards from one account?
Each team can fork a template and customize text, size, and colors for its own screen, while every board runs in a browser on existing TVs.
What does an office board cost per screen?
Building and configuring is free, so the layout can be approved before budget is spent. Going live is $8/mo on Starter for one display, $29/mo on Pro for five, and $79/mo on Business for unlimited screens plus the live data feeds KPI boards use.
Can one TV cover several teams' content?
Yes. Give sales, support, and engineering their own scenes on one display, each with a duration, and the board rotates automatically. A scene edited in the dashboard updates on the TV in real time, so no one touches the screen itself.
