Show HN: Drop Flap Boards for All
The creator of a live Hacker News drop flap board has launched DropFlapBoard.com (also flapboard.live), a free service built on Quickish that lets anyone create and share their own flip board. Boards support API updates and the project is open source under MIT license, with downloadable code available.
Background
- **Drop flap boards** are physical displays with hinged panels that flip down to reveal changing information (like arrival/departure boards at airports or train stations). This project recreates that aesthetic as a web page.
- **Show HN** is a tradition on Hacker News (HN), a tech-community news site run by Y Combinator. Users post projects they've built for feedback.
- **Quickish** (mentioned as "quickish.space" and "quickish.website") is the creator's own low-code / rapid-app-building platform. The drop-flap board is built on top of it.
- **What this is**: A free, open-source web tool that lets anyone create a customizable digital flip-board display, share a link to it, or update it via an API — without needing to host the code themselves.
