Signboard on Web Browser
Runs in any modern browser — nothing to install, works the same on any machine you log in from.
Setup on Web Browser
Download the installer
Download the latest Signboard installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/signboard-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Signboard runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Signboard is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Signboard on Web Browser — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the full source is MIT at github.com/bensblueprints/signboard-mvp. The $129 buys the packaged installer, guided VPS deploy and lifetime updates instead of doing the docker compose setup yourself.
Does offline caching always work?
Honest caveat: browsers only allow service workers on HTTPS or localhost. On a plain-http LAN address the player degrades gracefully to no-cache mode — it still plays fine, it just re-fetches media each loop. For real offline resilience put a reverse proxy with TLS (or Tailscale) in front, or run the desktop app, which loads 127.0.0.1 and gets full caching.
