Run every TV, menu board, kiosk, and video wall from one browser dashboard with ScreenTinker, a digital signage CMS you host yourself, with no per-screen license fees. Players cover Android TV, Fire TV, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Amazon Vega OS, Roku, Raspberry Pi, Windows, ChromeOS, and any web browser. Upload images and video, turn each PDF page into a slide, or design animated decks in the slide editor with templates, optional voiceover, a music bed, and an optional AI designer that works from a prompt using your own model endpoint. Widgets add clocks, weather, RSS tickers, moderated social walls, live IPTV streams, and iCal or JSON data bound straight into a slide. A weekly calendar handles recurring schedules, priorities, and time zones, and Preview at shows what a given screen will play at any chosen moment. Group screens to push playlists and bulk commands, split displays into zones, or join several panels into a video wall with bezel compensation. Live remote control, CSV proof-of-play reports, and offline email alerts keep a fleet in check, while web and Android players cache content and keep playing through outages. Workspaces, six role levels, optional approval before publishing, OIDC single sign-on, white-label branding on your own domain, and a scoped REST API serve agencies and larger teams.

Built for e-ink screens, Tesserae composes calm wall dashboards from your calendar, weather, and Home Assistant data in a browser, then renders each frame at the panel's exact resolution. Lay out pages as a grid of cells or on a free canvas of widgets, text, and shapes, with a live preview. What you see is what paints. Dozens of bundled widgets cover weather, calendars, clocks, news, to-do lists, and photos, and a community catalog adds more widgets, themes, and templates. Frames are dithered to each panel's measured palette, so photos and gradients stay clean on Spectra 6 color, mono, and grayscale screens. One server drives a whole fleet. Each panel keeps its own dashboards, schedules, and rotations, and smart sync renders just before a battery panel wakes while quiet hours let it sleep overnight. Seeed reTerminal and XIAO panels flash from the browser, and Pimoroni Inky, Waveshare, M5Stack, TRMNL-compatible devices, and KOReader Kindles and Kobos work too. Inside Home Assistant it runs as a sidebar App. Home Assistant widgets show entities, history, energy, and cameras, and MQTT discovery turns each panel into a device with its frame, battery level, and signal. No account is needed, and update checks stay off unless you opt in. Ask Claude or any MCP client to lay out a dashboard, check a preview, and push it.

An e-ink frame on your kitchen wall should show your calendar, not beg a cloud subscription for permission; Larapaper is the self-hosted TRMNL server that keeps those screens yours. Devices on your network announce themselves and auto-join, and the admin panel tracks each unit's battery, WiFi strength, firmware, and current screen, from the official TRMNL OG and X to SeeedStudio DIY kits, reTerminal panels, Kindle and Kobo e-readers, and Raspberry Pi displays. Content comes from wherever you like: native plugins and recipe mashups, more than a thousand catalog recipes importable from TRMNL and the community, your own Liquid or Blade markup written in the web editor, or a simple POST to the screen API from any script. Playlists rotate screens on a schedule, so the morning shows trains and weather while the afternoon shows the build board. The render pipeline draws with headless Chrome, converts through ImageMagick to each device's exact palette, and caches results so sleepy e-ink clients wake, fetch, and sleep again in seconds. Run it beside the official cloud as a proxy when you want hybrid coverage, on SQLite for a shelf box or Postgres for a fleet, with dark mode in the admin and Docker Compose for deployment.

Most file sharing leaves copies lying around forever; Tessera shares things with a built-in goodbye. Drop in a file, a whole folder, a code snippet, or a link and you get back a short code and a URL that anyone can open until it expires or hits the download count you set, at which point it is deleted. Expiry is checked on every request and each retrieval is counted atomically, so a one-time share cannot be raced by two people at once. Passwords can be required before anything is shown, code arrives syntax-highlighted, and images, SVGs, and diagrams preview in the page, with link cards when you paste the URL into chat. Uploads resume after interruptions and stream through the server without ballooning memory at any size. Behind the scenes you choose where bytes live: local disk, S3-compatible storage, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, or WebDAV, several at once, added or retired from the admin panel without a restart. Accounts are optional for a home server, sign-in through OpenID Connect suits a team, and roles with per-account quotas decide who may upload, view everyone's shares, or change settings. Optional malware scanning, anonymous-upload caps, and rate-limited code lookups keep a public instance honest. A CLI and API tokens drive the same endpoints as the web app, so scripts can share and clean up exactly like people.

Product Hunt's Maker of the Year: Animockup delivers an alternative to expensive motion graphics tools for creating animated product teaser videos entirely in the browser. The FabricJS canvas engine provides a fully interactive editing surface where you import product videos or screenshots, place them inside device mockups ranging from iPhones and MacBooks to browser windows and smartwatches, and customize everything from background gradients to overlay text positioning. Anime.js powers the animation system with configurable start and end transitions, easing curves, and duration controls that produce smooth entrance and exit effects without timeline editors or keyframe knowledge. The built-in FFMPEG.wasm pipeline handles all video processing client-side — no server-side rendering required — exporting finished teasers to WebM, MP4, or GIF at custom framerates and resolutions up to 4K. The crop and reposition tool lets you precisely fit product footage into any device screen regardless of aspect ratio differences. Twenty-plus device frames cover phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, watches, and generic browser windows for maximum versatility. Firebase authentication handles user sessions while the optional Paddle integration manages subscriptions — or remove both for a fully free deployment. Self-hosting requires only a static web server with optional PHP for the payment webhook endpoint.

MediaMTX sits between cameras and viewers as a self-hosted live media server, taking in video and audio streams over one protocol and handing them back out over another, so one IP camera feed can end up playing in a browser, a phone app, and a recording archive simultaneously. Publish with FFmpeg, GStreamer, OBS Studio, a browser, or a Raspberry Pi camera over RTSP, RTMP, SRT, WebRTC, Media-over-QUIC, HLS, MPEG-TS, or RTP, and read it back on any other protocol without a transcoding pipeline. Run dozens of camera feeds side by side, each on its own path, and keep every path available even while its publisher is offline. Record everything to disk in fMP4 or MPEG-TS as it streams, then play recordings back later through the same server instead of shipping files around. Authenticate publishers and viewers with built-in users, an external HTTP check, or JWT, and use the control API plus Prometheus metrics to wire the server into the rest of your monitoring stack. Forward streams to other servers, proxy cameras behind NAT, and fire hook commands whenever a client connects, publishes, or disconnects, so a doorbell camera can trigger a snapshot or an alert as it starts streaming. Reload the configuration while clients stay connected, and tune everything from the same mediamtx.yml file or environment variables, with no database or runtime dependencies to babysit.

Reloops is a self-hosted creative asset workspace where teams keep every video, design, PDF, audio file, and live website in one library and collect feedback on the files themselves instead of in scattered email threads. Reviewers click anywhere on an image to pin a note to that exact spot, and on video the comments attach to the precise frame, so "fix this bit" always points at the bit in question. Every upload becomes a new version on the same asset, older cuts stay available for side-by-side comparison, and approvals are recorded on the file so nobody ships the wrong export by accident. Clients never need an account: send them a share link or a branded collection and they can watch, comment, and sign off as guests. The library searches the way people remember work, because each asset carries generated descriptions, tags, and metadata filters, so "the approved homepage with the blue button" actually finds something. Day to day, assignments and review queues keep feedback moving, while scoped API keys let agents such as Claude, OpenClaw, Zapier, and n8n upload new versions, post comments, update statuses, and manage share links inside the same workspace.
