* 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>Weather Widget for Digital Signage</h1>
|
|
<p class="lead">ScreenTinker has a native weather widget. Set a location, optionally a timezone, and it shows current conditions on screen - a lobby-board staple next to a clock and your main content.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>The short version</h2>
|
|
<p>The weather widget is built in. You configure a location and, if you want, a timezone, and it renders current conditions on the display. It is most often placed in a multi-zone layout alongside a clock and a main content area to make a clean reception or lobby board.</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>Weather</strong> widget.</li>
|
|
<li>Configure it with your <strong>location</strong>, and optionally set a <strong>timezone</strong>. The widget renders current conditions for that location.</li>
|
|
<li>Add the widget to a <strong>Playlist</strong>, or place it in a zone of a multi-zone <strong>layout</strong> next to a clock and your main 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>Pair it with a Clock.</strong> ScreenTinker's native Clock widget plus the weather widget is the classic lobby combo - people glance up for the time and today's conditions.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Reception and lobby boards.</strong> A multi-zone layout with weather in a corner, a clock, and a main zone for announcements or a welcome message makes a polished front-of-house display.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Set the location correctly.</strong> Configure the location for where the screen physically lives so staff and visitors see local conditions.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Set the timezone when it matters.</strong> If you run screens across regions, set the timezone so a paired clock and any time-based content line up with the local site.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Keep it as a supporting element.</strong> Weather works best as a small, always-there widget in a zone rather than a full-screen item - it complements your main message instead of competing with it.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Multi-site fleets.</strong> Give each location its own layout with the local weather so every site's board feels local, all managed from one dashboard.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>FAQ</h2>
|
|
<h3>Is the weather widget built in?</h3>
|
|
<p>Yes. Weather is a native ScreenTinker widget. You configure a location (and optionally a timezone) and it renders current conditions - no third-party embed required.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What do I configure?</h3>
|
|
<p>A location, and optionally a timezone. That is enough for the widget to show current conditions on screen.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Can I show weather and a clock together?</h3>
|
|
<p>Yes. The Clock is also a native widget. Put both into a multi-zone layout - weather in one zone, clock in another, main content in a third - for a lobby or reception board.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Can I show different weather on different screens?</h3>
|
|
<p>Yes. Configure a layout per location with that site's location set, then assign each layout to the screens at that site.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Does it work on all ScreenTinker players?</h3>
|
|
<p>Yes. The weather widget runs on Android TV, Fire TV, Tizen, webOS, Vega, Raspberry Pi, Windows, ChromeOS, and the browser player - all free.</p>
