Manage content and play it on a screen
MKR:SCRN combines an administration interface with a browser-based signage player. Scenes and uploaded media are managed centrally, while players rotate the configured content on kiosk displays.
The documented system is deliberately small: React and Fastify run with SQLite and local media storage rather than requiring distributed services or an external content platform.
Tools for the display workflow
- Scene previews and a visual editor for text, images, shapes and SVG.
- Configurable colors and bundled font choices.
- Live change notifications to connected players.
- Last-successful payload and media caching for interruptions.
- Player status reporting and prioritized takeover content.
A bounded self-hosted system
The first version uses one environment-configured administrator and keeps media local to its deployment. Optional transport information relies on an adapted provider response rather than assuming a universal feed.
This overview excludes actual announcements, administrator settings and private display addresses. The featured illustration is generic community-signage artwork, not a screenshot of a live makerspace screen.
