Hi friends,

We've been working on FiestaBoard — the free, open-source web dashboard for Vestaboard (see the launch announcement) — to make managing the board grid a bit more flexible. We just pushed a major update and wanted to share the new features with the community!

If you're looking for more "pixel-perfect" control or specific automation, here is what's new:

New Rich WYSIWYG Editor​

No more guessing. The new editor gives you a real-time preview of the Vestaboard grid. You can "paint" individual bits, toggle colors, and align text exactly where you want it before sending it to your board.

Scheduling Mode​

You can now schedule specific messages or layouts to trigger at set times. Perfect for recurring morning greetings, "Meeting in Progress" signs, or daily reminders.

Disney Parks Plugin​

By popular request, we've added a plugin that pulls real-time queue times for Disney Parks. You can now turn your board into a live wait-time tracker.

We'd love to hear what you think! If you have ideas for new plugins or features you'd like to see added to the dashboard, let us know on GitHub or Discord. As always: we know there are some bugs here and there — we fix them as fast as we can in our free time.

Happy flipping!
