Infoscreen with useful things

How to use

• Run a browser with CORS protection disabled, e.g. chromium-browser --disable-web-security --user-data-dir --test-type --kiosk --incognito.
  • Disabling CORS protextion lets the webpage make API requests to other sites, so that you don't need to run a http server yourself.
  • Don't use the unsafe browser for your regular browsing.
• yarn install
• BROWSER=chromium-browser yarn start
• Look at the JS console in the browser for help with .env
