* feat(seo): enable IndexNow (key file + submission script) Instant re-crawl pings to Bing/Yandex/Seznam/Naver on content changes (Google ignores IndexNow but uses the same sitemap). Hosts the ownership key at frontend/<key>.txt (served at https://screentinker.com/<key>.txt) and adds scripts/indexnow-submit.sh which POSTs the sitemap URLs to api.indexnow.org (DRY_RUN=1 to preview). Run after a content deploy / from CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(seo): landing-page optimization pass (schema fixes, FAQ, content depth, CWV) From a 3-way SEO audit (technical / structured-data / content). Highest-value fixes: Structured data (penalty risk + rich results): - REMOVE the fabricated aggregateRating (4.8/50) from SoftwareApplication — no visible reviews on the page = a "spammy structured markup" risk. Replace loose Offers with a proper AggregateOffer + publisher + image/screenshot. - Add a VISIBLE FAQ section (10 Q&As) so the FAQPage schema finally has on-page content (it shipped 4 Q&As with no visible counterpart — a mismatch); expand the FAQPage JSON-LD to mirror all 10. - Add a WebSite entity block; add YouTube to Organization sameAs + a description. - Fix the guides/compare BreadcrumbList position-2 target (dead /#features -> /). Content / keywords / IA: - Hero + Features subtitle rewritten to surface "digital signage software" / "digital signage CMS" / "self-host" / "free" above the fold. - New "How It Works" (3-step) and "Use Cases / Industries" (8 verticals) sections for snippet + long-tail intent. Platform tiles (Android TV / Fire TV / Raspberry Pi) now link to their guides. - FAQ answers add keyword-rich internal links to the guides + compare pages. Technical / Core Web Vitals: - Lazy-load the YouTube iframe (loading=lazy + youtube-nocookie + explicit width/height) — the top LCP/TBT win on mobile. - Title 84->~60 chars (keyword-front), meta description ~178->~156 + CTA. - <div> footer -> <footer> landmark; favicon sizes (192+512). - sitemap.xml: add <lastmod> to all 10 URLs. All JSON-LD validated (4 blocks parse; single H1; no fabricated data). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(seo): open-source/what-is pillars, Xibo+Anthias compares, integrations hub [#177] Competitor-SEO gap-fill from the Yodeck/ScreenCloud/OptiSigns/Xibo teardowns. 11 new static pages + sitemap/landing/README wiring. All match the existing seo-page.css template; BreadcrumbList on every page, FAQPage (visible-backed) on guides + integration spokes. No fabricated ratings. Pillar guides: - guides/open-source-digital-signage.html (head term "open source digital signage") - guides/what-is-digital-signage.html (TOFU definitional pillar + FAQ) Comparisons (the open-source SERP Xibo/Anthias own): - compare/xibo-alternative.html (wedge: every ScreenTinker player free vs Xibo's paid Android/Tizen/webOS licences; no free plan) - compare/anthias-alternative.html (wedge: fleet + video walls + multi-platform vs one-Pi-one-screen) Integrations (OptiSigns' top tactic — one page per app): - integrations/index.html hub - google-slides / canva / power-bi (honestly framed as the universal Webpage widget, with the X-Frame-Options / publish-vs-edit-URL caveat + Power BI public-data warning) - youtube / rss / weather (native widgets) Wiring: - sitemap.xml +11 URLs (lastmod 2026-07-13) - landing.html Resources grid: 6 new cards (open-source, what-is, vs Xibo, vs Anthias, integrations hub) - README.md: keyword-rich open-source/self-hosted intro + platform list + guide links (GitHub-SERP asset) - docs/seo-directory-listings.md: off-repo G2/Capterra/AlternativeTo/awesome-selfhosted/fingoweb submission checklist + reusable kit Validated: all JSON-LD parses, canonicals match paths, 0 broken internal links, sitemap well-formed (21 URLs).

<h1>RSS Feeds on Digital Signage: News Tickers & Headlines</h1>
|
|
<p class="lead">ScreenTinker has a native RSS widget. Point it at a feed URL and it renders live headlines on screen - perfect for a news ticker, blog headlines, or an internal announcement board.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>The short version</h2>
|
|
<p>The RSS widget is built in - no plugins or embeds. You give it a feed URL like <code>https://example.com/feed.xml</code> and it pulls the latest items and renders the headlines on screen. Because it is a configurable widget, you can add it to playlists and layouts, and it can share a multi-zone layout with your main content so headlines run alongside images or video.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Step by step</h2>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the <strong>Content Library</strong> (or the layout editor) in your ScreenTinker dashboard.</li>
|
|
<li>Add the <strong>RSS</strong> widget.</li>
|
|
<li>Configure it with your feed URL, for example <code>https://example.com/feed.xml</code>. The widget fetches the feed and renders the current headlines.</li>
|
|
<li>Add the RSS widget to a <strong>Playlist</strong>, or place it in a zone of a multi-zone <strong>layout</strong> next to your other content.</li>
|
|
<li>Publish and <strong>schedule</strong> the playlist or layout, then assign it to one or more screens.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Tips & use cases</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>News ticker.</strong> The classic use - a strip of scrolling or rotating headlines along the bottom or side of the screen while the main zone shows video or promos.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Multi-zone layouts.</strong> Put the RSS widget in one zone and your primary content in another so headlines and the main message play at the same time instead of taking turns.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Internal announcements.</strong> If your intranet, wiki, or CMS can publish an RSS feed, point the widget at it to broadcast staff updates without emailing everyone.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Status pages.</strong> Many status and monitoring tools expose an RSS feed - surface incidents on an ops or NOC wall board.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Blog and content marketing.</strong> Show your own latest posts in a waiting area or office lobby to keep visitors engaged with fresh material.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Which feeds work.</strong> Any standard RSS or Atom feed URL that returns headline items. Feeds you control are the most reliable, since you know they will stay online and public.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>FAQ</h2>
|
|
<h3>Is the RSS widget really built in?</h3>
|
|
<p>Yes. RSS is a native ScreenTinker widget - you configure a feed URL and it renders headlines. There is no third-party plugin or embed code to manage.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What kind of feed URL do I use?</h3>
|
|
<p>A standard RSS or Atom feed URL, such as <code>https://example.com/feed.xml</code>. Most blogs, news sites, CMSes, and status pages publish one.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Can the RSS ticker share the screen with other content?</h3>
|
|
<p>Yes. Place the RSS widget in one zone of a multi-zone layout and your main content in another. Headlines and your primary message then display at the same time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Can I use an internal or private feed?</h3>
|
|
<p>The widget fetches a feed URL, so any feed the player can reach works - including an internal feed on your network for a self-hosted deployment. Publish your announcements as RSS and point the widget at that URL.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Does it work on all ScreenTinker players?</h3>
|
|
<p>Yes. The RSS widget runs on Android TV, Fire TV, Tizen, webOS, Vega, Raspberry Pi, Windows, ChromeOS, and the browser player - all free.</p>
