At BaselHack 2023, we had the opportunity of live-testing a dashboard POC under real conditions - and collect feedback. I heard/saw some 😎 and 😮, but also '😒 you hit the IP rate limit for github and we can't push rn'.

The test run during a few hours during the 2-day hackathon was as follows: First I manually entered the teams into the CMS backend (~5 mins). This has potential to be integrated to dribdat or CMS solutions where the team info already is available. Then I ran the stack locally on my macbook and plugged it to the main screen for a few hours. It was at that moment where I noticed the 😎 and 😮, from the people who were not super focused on their projects and were curious what was being projected on the screen.

It gave me a sense of "wow, so much work in parallel", and I think it would also be one of the more interesting things to see for guests at a hackathon.

Then people complained about getting locked out of github, and unfortunately I had to shut it down.

* covers use case
* fully automatic
    - polling
    - hits some rate limit event if autorized by token
    -- github only
    - still ugly, lists instead of graphics/icons
    ? doesn't record anything, just 'broadcast'
