## What it is
FlipOff is a free, open-source web app that emulates a classic mechanical split-flap airport/train station display board in any browser. It runs full-screen on a TV or monitor with realistic flip animations, recorded mechanical sound, and zero external dependencies.

## Use cases
- turn a spare TV into a retro split-flap airport display
- show rotating quotes on a lobby screen with flip-board animation
- emulate a train station departure board without buying hardware
- run an offline decorative display board in a browser
- customize messages and grid size for a flip-board sign

## When to choose
- you want the split-flap look for free on any TV or monitor with a browser
- you need a fully offline, dependency-free single-page app
- you want to customize messages, colors, and timing in plain vanilla JS

## When to avoid
- you need real dynamic data like live departures or API-driven content
- you need a server-rendered or framework-based solution
- you require a permissive license for redistribution (no license is specified)
