Rotation

These take turns on the board. Anything sent by hand, and any scheduled message or reminder, shows on top and the rotation carries on afterwards, starting the interrupted item's time again.

Add to the rotation

Scheduled messages and reminders

At the due time the message shows on top of the rotation for the time you choose, then the rotation returns. If the computer was off and the whole time has passed, it is skipped and noted below.

Quiet period

During this time the board shows an "asleep" message and holds back everything except urgent items. The message stays up afterwards until something else is due.

Messages you send by hand

Weather

The location, units and how often it updates are set on the computer running Mintyboard with python -m mintyboard set-weather-location . Add a rotation item that shows it on the Rotation tab.

Football

Add a rotation item that shows this on the Rotation tab - it only appears while a match in the chosen competition is actually live.

Access tokens

A token lets another program (Alexa, a script) send messages without your password. Give each thing its own token so you can switch one off later.
