Hello guys, I’ve made a connected device that shows upcoming departures for a chosen train station.

The idea is a discrete, always-on desk/home display. It displays delay when operators offer it, and for now 112 lines are covered (some buses as well).

I also plan on releasing iOS / apple watch widgets.

I’d love to hear what you think of it, and if you think it'd be useful to you:

• Would you want one for home or your desk?
• Which information matters most: platform, train type, delays, car position, transfers?

I’m looking for honest feedback from rail enthusiasts and commuters who might want to follow the project or test it later. I can share photos/demo if people are interested.

Here is the website: https://ekiboard.com/

Thank you ahead!

Hello guys,

I'm looking for feedback on the product I've made (EkiBoard), a physical departure board relying partially on trmnl stack (firmware and terminus). It fetches train info from your favorite train stations and displays it on e-ink screen. It updates every minutes during commuting time with fresh data, then display simple timetable and sleeps at night to save battery.

I'm at a stage where software is basically done (companion app, data fetching, users management, devices management...), I'm looking for feedbacks on the product / service and the device itself.

Do you think you / people could buy this ?

Would you see another way of providing this service ?

(FYI: Now there is only Japan railway covered as I live there, but there would be no blocker to expand coverage)

If you have the question on how it works, how it has been set up or built I'lll be happy to answer!

Thank you ahead :)
