The RSS ticker is now available on our production site! Go ahead and check it out!

The ticker is super smooth (GPU-powered) and quite flexible. You can add one or more entries, including static texts and RSS feeds.

You also have a few customization options:

- scrolling speed (in seconds edge-to-edge)
- font type
- font styling, color & transparency
- background color & transparency

You can also have more than 1 ticker on the same Show, it works great!

The RSS ticker is fully working on our beta site. It is super smooth and quite flexible. You can add one or more entries, including static texts and RSS feeds. You also have a few customization options (font, font color/transparency, background color/transparency). You can also have more than 1 ticker on the same Show.

The current beta is expected to be released on our production site in mid-January. We are not accepting any more users now for the current beta cycle. In the announcement of the update, we will provide a new invitation for beta users within the newsletter.

For now, all widgets will not be charged (at least not for existing users).

We have started working on our OpenGL-based ticker. This will be the first Widget to be released. It will support RSS feeds, HTTP-fetched text, and fixed text, along with a few customization options (font, font color, background color, transparency, padding, etc)

Dev team stumbled upon some Raspberry Pi limitations, so it has taken longer than expected. We are trying to shift all rendering using OpenGL. Hopefully, this shift will be completed by the end of May and we will be able to release the RSS ticker one week after that.

Development for RSS ticker itself has already started and is progressing fast, so we should be on schedule.

Ticker is very smooth and cool, thnx.
Though, one addition would be awesome to stand out from the pack - to set leading feed logo.

thnx for awesome work.

If you really can't wait for RSS I have had some success with building simple aggregated feeds with https://feed.mikle.com/. Crank up the font sizes for big screens and look into the advanced formatting and you can make something that works quite well. If just grab the URL from the code for the iframe version you can add your widget as a website in yodeck.

We are polishing it out now. To deliver faster, the ticker will probably be released initially without RSS support, and then we will release a version supporting RSS feeds.

With the new rendering engine we have built, a lot of cool stuff will now be possible, including image transparencies, web site transparencies, overlaying stuff over video, and many many more. Please be patient since this is a big development chunk and it needs lots of work.

Hi Craig, we are working hard on it as we speak. It will take a few weeks though. We estimate to have it released in about 3 weeks from now.
