Smart whiteboard

A digital twin of a physical ten-day rotating schedule

Case study. This system is private — its architecture is described here, but it is not linked and no real data or media from it appears.

A camera watches a physical whiteboard. When you finish writing and step away it captures a still, flattens the board, extracts the tasks, and stores them — so the record survives the moment someone wipes it.

Magnets are metadata: a red magnet beside a task means urgent. The dashboard is read-mostly on purpose, because the whiteboard stays the place you actually write.

Scoped hard to a task database. No spatial webhooks, no deploy hooks, no hardware rig in the repo — those were the obvious next features and were all deferred.
