Embrace being a generalist.

I myself have gone through a similar dilemma, being a generalist allows you to make informed decisions that sit between two disciplines. When the problem concerns both sides you ARE the expert. This is a specialist skill in itself.

If you are looking for something specific I'd highly recommend working in R&D this will give you the opportunity to work in a role where being a generalist really helps.


> How about some information about the display?

The product here is the web application. Not the display.

> Why is your widget better than any other widget?

I'm not sure what you mean by widget.

> How about a contact us?

I'm just doing a soft-launch right now and not prepared to handle support.

> How about a way to scoop up emails to contact customers when youre ready to launch?

It's already launched?! Just hit the get started button on the landing page.

> How about efficiency info?

Valid point. Heres a link if your looking for the information right away -> http://raspi.tv/2015/raspberry-pi2-power-and-performance-mea...

> How about ease of use info?

There is a bit more inside the system but I agree that I'm lacking in this available pre-signup.

> This site feels 100% complete graphically and 20% complete functionally.

Check out the inside of the system... It works. It's only had about 10hrs of development from idea to today so I hope to improve things over the coming days.


Need to work on explaining this better on the landing page but wanted to get something out to people as soon as possible.

Basically it's a hosted slides service designed for kiosk screens. I provide the platform and a simple image for the Raspberry Pi so for a very low cost for the hardware (which you buy yourself) you can run slides on a screen.

It's aimed for places like galleries, independent cinemas, cafes and small businesses who want to put up advertising or show times onto a screen without needing to contract out specialists.

You build slideshows and assign them to screens which you can remotely push updates to.

Edit: Just for a bit of context this project has only had about 10 hours of my time from idea to it's current state so it's still in very early days.


Currently only the Raspberry Pi 3 is supported. I'll look at adding support for other devices over the coming days.


I was wondering about the kiosk itself.


I'm not sure I understand your question in that case. I do mean the kiosk itself.

You might have multiple Raspberry Pis (one for each screen) and then they just connect to tellybox.me to provide them with their slides.

Changes can be pushed to the screen by editing the slides on tellybox.me and hitting the refresh button on the devices page.


I think I understand, now that the customer already needs to have kiosk hardware like screens, an enclosure, etc. and the product is software only. Right?


That's right. If you've got a TV and a Raspberry Pi your ready to go :)


Anyone know what the music is here? Shazam seems to be giving me false results :(


Its a stock music from audiojungle :)
