Split-flap message maker

Type a short message and watch it settle onto a departure-board display. Copy the link and send it to someone.

Questions

How long can a message be?

Up to 60 characters, across up to five rows of twelve tiles. Words wrap to the next row, and anything that doesn't fit is left off.

Which characters work?

Letters, numbers and common punctuation. Letters show as capitals, and other characters show as a blank tile.

What if I prefer less motion?

If your device asks for reduced motion, the message appears straight away without the flipping.

Is my message private?

It isn't stored by us, because it lives in the link itself. Anyone you give the link to can read it.
