I am so happy to have discovered this here. I've wanted this product for years.

I just placed an order for the coworking space I run in Brighton, UK.

Super excited about all the potential applications of this. The simplicity of the developer experience [1] is exactly what I want.

Seems like it will also work wonderfully with the screenshot api [2] I'm currently working at.

Holy crap, now I am impressed!

If I am seeing this right, I could use your screenshot API to implement a website rendering feature for the display, super easily!

I was toying with running headless chromium, but if I can get that as a service, it's an absolute winner! But I would need to see if I can afford the pricing.

Providing this service to my users for an average device lifetime of 10 years free of charge is a lot of screenshots... I won't be able to fold that into the price of the smart screen. I might need to look into a subscription.


Thank you!

I have a few ideas about some tweaks we could make to support you and your customers with this.

We're up to 11 years and profitable with a small full-time team... so I'm very confident that we'll still be around in another 10 :)

I'll drop you an email to discuss.


Urlbox has a beautiful website. And the invisible calendar is beautiful too. Would it happen to render multiple calendars concurrently? (I share an office, seems like the perfect xmas gift)


Thank you!
