Wall dashboard

I had an unused tablet lying around, so I came up with the idea of turning it into a simple wall-mounted dashboard near the entrance door. The goal was to have quick access to essential information before heading out — like the weather and public transport status.

Where I live, train delays happen occasionally, so it’s useful to know about any issues in advance. As a fun bonus, I decided to reuse my AI-generated “fun facts,” which appear randomly each time the display turns on.

In the future, I plan to add gas and petrol prices though I haven’t yet found an open API for that.

Frontend:

• Angular
• Entur GraphQL API (for public transport data)
• MET Weather API

Backend:

• Node.js — handles API calls to the database (fun facts) and acts as a proxy for api.met.no weather data (bypasses CORS and adds required headers)
