The URL is the state but clearly there is an actual app here

You right. But I only had 80 characters to work with.

Cool project. But why not built with php so I can simply throw it on my running web server?

It's a static site.

I use a similar thing but designed to be as few steps as possible:

I use to try and coordinate game nights across the world, and a url with the Unix timestamp of the event and a countdown showing how many days and hours worked quite well.

Suggestion: make it a GoogleTV / AppleTV app so users can set it up in a few clicks and transform any screen laying around into a sign.

I built https://signagesync.app for my cafe. It can be used to create a video wall (combine multiple screens to make a bigger screen).

I think BIGWORDS.PAGE would be a great companion to a web browser app on those TV devices. I haven't found any good web browser for AppleTV, but if somebody has a browser/kiosk app that let's you send a URL from your phone, that would be really great!

Unfortunately Apple TV doesn't support WebView. I'm procuring a second-hand device so I can test my app there. I'm thinking of rendering it on the server and sending a series of images. Not sure of the cost, though.

I like this site because it exemplifies DOTADIW, do one thing and do it well.

I like that the fragment is basically argv for a static web app.

how to hide or change the gigantic preview when sharing on apple messages? id prefer to change it, the default is obtrusive

IIRC with any link thru Messages, before sending, you can press and hold it and it'll give u the option to send just as a text link
