BIGWORDS.PAGE Turns a URL Into a Browser Text Display

The MIT-licensed tool from SpeakingOfBrad builds text displays controlled entirely through a crafted URL, with a visual editor for generating links.

SpeakingOfBrad has released BIGWORDS.PAGE, a web page that is controlled through a crafted URL and displays text in browsers across multiple devices, Hackaday reported.

The tool supports changing font and text colors by adding values to the URL, so a single link carries both the message and its formatting.

A visual editor generates a finished link, which removes the need to assemble the parameters by hand.

According to the project's documentation, it can also show images, create countdown timers and produce animated multi-page presentations.

BIGWORDS.PAGE is released under the MIT license, and the documentation covers self-hosting for users who want to run it on their own infrastructure.
