Hacker News Flipboard

The top twenty Hacker News stories, rendered on a split-flap board of the kind that used to hang in train stations. Rank, points, and title clatter into place for each one, and a scheduled cloud function refreshes the board on its own. You can pin a headline of your own among them, and the flap sound is a toggle once the clacking wears thin. Twenty is the whole board, so this is a glance at the front page rather than a way to read it. The appeal is the mechanism, not the throughput.
