MILESTONE & COUNTER BOARDS

Celebrate growth with a split-flap milestone counter that flips up as the number climbs. Track followers, signups, GitHub stars, or fundraising goals on any TV, and let each new digit roll into place the moment your data source ticks higher.

16 TEMPLATES
Open Source Release Board

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.

Product Launch Countdown

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.

GitHub Star Counter

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.

Cafe Daily Specials Board

A cafe daily specials board with today's date, a rotating coffee lineup, and a pastry ticker for the screen behind the counter. Out of the box it flips through pour overs, oat lattes, and cold brew on one line and almond croissants, banana bread, and lemon tart on another, with your guest Wi-Fi in the footer. The date widget updates itself every morning.

Restaurant Menu Display Board

A restaurant menu display board that lists dishes with prices and a rotating specials ticker on a split-flap TV. The default menu shows a smash burger at $18, salmon bowl at $24, and mushroom risotto at $19, with specials like truffle fries and market fish flipping through below and an allergy note in the footer. Diners at the counter read it like a classic arrivals board.

Engineering Incident Status Board

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.

Retirement Countdown Clock

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.

Sobriety Counter Board

A sobriety counter board that flips a green day count — 142 in the template — under the words "one day at a time," with a progress bar tracking the road to year one. It works as a private home display or a shared board in a recovery center common room. Edit the streak, goal, and encouragement lines after forking.

Baby Countdown Board

A split-flap baby countdown board that flips the days remaining until an August due date next to a purple progress bar showing how ready you are. It suits a nursery wall, family room TV, or baby shower photo backdrop, with a "bags packed and ready" line underneath. Fork it and set your own due date in seconds.

YouTube Live Watch Board

A live-studio board with a next-show countdown cycling 9am, 1pm, and 6pm slots, a red 12.8k live-viewer counter, and a lower-third ticker rotating subscribe prompts, Q&A cues, and sponsor mentions. Streamers frame it in the background of the shot or mount it in the control room as an on-air status wall the whole crew can read at a glance.

Social Follower Milestone Board

A creator milestone board pairing a 48.2k follower counter with a goal progress bar sitting at 96%, above a thank-you ticker plugging Friday's video and the next stream. Creators put it behind them on camera or on the studio wall so the community watches the counter close in on the goal. The number, the goal bar, and every message edit in the fork.

Esports Match Board

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.

Parking Garage Availability Board

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.

Rideshare Pickup Board

A rideshare pickup board that rotates zone status — zone A open, zone B overflow, taxis lane 3 — beside a green six-minute wait counter and a fixed "meet drivers at the blue awning" instruction line. Hotels, arenas, and campuses hang it at the curb or exit doors so guests find their ride without a staffer repeating directions all night.

Yoga Studio Board

A yoga studio board that shows the next flow, the room temperature, and soft rotating studio notes on an entryway screen. A next-class widget counts down through the 7am, 9:30, 12:15, and 6pm sessions, an 82°F room-temp counter warns hot-flow arrivals, and a ticker flips through mat rentals and post-class tea, above a shoes-off reminder.

Dental Office Queue Board

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.

Counters that make every milestone a moment

A counter board is one big number done well. Give the digits the tallest rows the screen allows and keep the label to a single slim line — 'SUBSCRIBERS', 'RAISED', 'SIGNUPS' — because the flip of a rolling digit is the show. Size for where it lives: a shelf board behind a streamer survives webcam compression at one giant row; an office wall counter can afford a second row pairing the total with today's gain. Fork a counter template and get the sizing right before styling anything.

Automate the tick. Point the counter's data widget at a JSON endpoint for your metric — a platform stats API, a fundraising platform's feed, or a small script that publishes the number — and digits roll upward within a second of the count changing, which turns a milestone crossing into something a room or a chat actually sees happen. Live data sources are a Business-plan feature; a manually updated counter, edited from a phone between sessions, runs on any paid plan and still flips on screen instantly.

Give goals their own machinery. Pair the counter with a progress widget targeting the next milestone so the bar fills as the number climbs, and add a countdown scene when a goal has a deadline — a fundraiser's final week, a subscriber push before an anniversary stream. Scenes rotate on their own durations, so the board can cycle counter, progress, and countdown unattended. When the milestone lands, a congratulations scene is a ten-second dashboard edit pushed live to the screen.

WHAT TO KNOW
Can the counter increment automatically?

Yes. Connect a JSON API for your metric and the board flips digits upward in real time as the count rises.

Can I set a target to count toward?

You can pair the counter with a goal so the board shows progress and flips celebratory digits as you close in.

What do I need to put it on the wall?

Any TV with a browser, since flaps.tv runs the counter with no hardware or code — just fork a template and point it at your data.

Do I need a paid plan to build a counter?

No — building and previewing is free, so the layout, label, and colors can be finished first. Playing the counter live on a screen starts at $8/mo on Starter, and the live API hookups that make it tick automatically come with the Business plan.

Can the counter match my channel or campaign branding?

Yes. Fork a template and edit flap colors, board size, and the label text so the counter carries your palette on stream or on the office wall — no code involved, and the same fork can be re-tuned when the campaign or rebrand changes.
