Show HN: Hacker News on a train station-style flip board

dev_tools

A developer shared a Hacker News feed displayed on a train station-style flip board—the kind of mechanical display you'd see at an airport. The real story is what it demonstrates: Quickish, a platform for building web apps with real-time updates. The flip board uses Firebase for live data and is open-source; anyone can remix and host their own version with just a Google login. The developer even used their own platform, writing their explanation blog on Quickish itself.
