I'm an engineer who'd climbed far enough up the org chart to stop getting to build things — and I missed making something you could actually hold. So one weekend I wired a Raspberry Pi to a couple of LED panels and put my team's live score on the wall. Just the Blue Jays. Glanceable, always there.
It fought me the whole way. (Ask me about the power bug that turned white text orange.) But it worked — and it did something I didn't expect. Every friend who came over wanted one. When I built one for my best friend's birthday, he called it the best gift anyone had ever given him.
That's when it stopped being a weekend project.
The same idea, rebuilt for your wall.
PulseBoard is that hand-built board, redesigned to live on your wall instead of my workbench. Same feeling — the thing you care about, glanceable and always on — but now it sets up over Wi-Fi in a couple of minutes, is managed from a simple portal, and quietly gets better on its own. No app to install. A single board with all of today's content is free, forever.
I still build it. Every layout, every rendered pixel, every over-the-air update comes from the same place that first board did — someone who just wanted one on his own wall.
