    Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid who now has help. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Icon by Pegosho, banner by OmenaKettu.

    TRMNL

    Posted by TomFulp - 7 days ago


    This past Monday I saw this in my mentions:

    I took TRMNL up on their offer and they were quick to send one to the office! Here it is:

    I always wanted a screen like this at the office but it felt wasteful to have an always-on computer monitor for this sort of thing. TRMNL works great because it's wireless and is expected to run for months without charging (it's an e-ink display like a Kindle screen).


    They didn't request or pay for a plug but I feel a plug is warranted since they gave us something cool, go check out TRMNL and see if it's something you might like around the house or office!


    Shout out to g0m for making a Newgrounds plugin. The barcode next to each daily winner lets you load it up on your phone to check it out.

    how does it work?

    You connect it to your wifi and set up an account on their website via your phone or PC, where you can choose what apps to run and schedule them like a playlist. I'm just running the Newgrounds app 24/7 but I could cycle other apps if we wanted to see info about other things throughout the day.

    On that note, it could be fun to have apps for the various portals, so you could cycle through new entries.

    Why, that’s pretty neat!

    Gotta make a movie called "HI MOM I'M ON A TRMNL IN MR. NEWGROUNDS' OFFICE", it better get daily winner

    I have never heard of this thing before but it sounds interesting, what is it for exactly and what does the Newgrounds plugin do?

    It's an always-on e-ink device, so you can have something at your desk or on your wall that gives you whatever info you choose from the available apps. I'm running the Newgrounds app, which shows the daily top five.

    No way this is true!

    wow, this is really cool! I've tried using an old android tablet before for a similar use case but always felt like having an always-on screen was wasteful as well, this feels like a much smarter solution. Might need to keep an eye on this!

    This would be super cool to have at home. It's great to see it at the NG office!

    @TomFulp oh that makes sense! I honestly would love having something like that. I think P-Bot might have some words to say about another computer doing the top five though.

    This is a serious kind of awesome, I LOVE e-ink displays!!

    Very interesting! Glad to see this at the NG office. Did they give you one for free?

    Ngl I kinda want to get that now

    That's awesome 😍

    Is it through RSS?

    Olskoo replied already but I'm not sure if they are using the RSS feed or scraping the site. The RSS feed is likely what's powering it though.

    @SteveMaddenFootball (aka Aalasteir for future reference) That’s what I was thinking!

    Congratulations on the TRMNL Offer! (Also shoutouts to g0m)

    @SteveMaddenFootball I don't know if that's how the newgrounds plug in does it but the TRMNL device does have a RSS feed plugin

    That's so cool!

    I like the concept behind it and most of all the fact it's open-source, I even watched some videos to understand better what it is, but knowing my nature it's not something I am interested in investing my time or trying it, sorry if I may appear the only one not interested^^'

    Thanks for letting me discover this though, never heard of it.

    So you got a E-ink P Bot Post
