Flip

A motherfucking split flap display in your motherfucking browser.

What?

Click this screen grab to view a 56-second demo:

Flip is a live streaming Solari Board powered by Sinatra, WebSockets, CSS3 animations and a little bit of hash. It doesn't use any images at all.

Install it.

$ git clone
$ cd flip
$ bundle install

Run it.

$ ruby flip.rb

Use it.

To view that motherfucker, hit up http://localhost:3000/.

To update the message, POST message=[whatever] to http://localhost:3000/ – for example:

$ curl -d "message=kapow" localhost:3000

Current Limitations.

If you want to use it in anything other than WebKit, you'll need to make that work.
