Departure board carousel generator

A departure board carousel sets your lines as amber split flap tiles and flips one row per slide. Station boards are made to be read at a glance in a crowd, which is exactly the job a slide has in a feed.

5 slides is over the limit on Bluesky (4) and X (Twitter) (4). Those posts get rejected rather than trimmed, so hide or remove some, or split the carousel across more than one post.

This carousel lives in this browser. An account keeps it.

Everything you have typed here is stored on this device only, so it is gone the moment you clear your browser or switch to your phone. With a PublishQ account it belongs to you instead:

  • Your carousels are saved, so you can come back and edit them.
  • The images you upload stay in your media library.
  • Your logo is stored once and reused on every carousel.
  • Brand name, handle, and colours stop being retyped.
  • Publish straight to every social account you connect — no downloading, no second tab.

Boards are built for glancing, and so are feeds

A departure board has one job: be legible from a distance to somebody in a hurry. Borrowing that layout means your slide is already designed for the conditions a feed actually provides.

Flipping one row at a time gives the deck a rhythm too. Each slide changes a single line, so the reader tracks the change instead of rereading the whole board.

Schedules, line ups and updates

Event schedules, release timelines, a run of announcements, a content calendar, sessions at a conference. Anything that is naturally a list of rows with times or statuses attached.

Keep each row terse. Split flap tiles are monospaced by nature, so a row that runs long stops looking like a board and starts looking like a caption in a strange font.

Before you export

  • Keep rows short. Board tiles are unforgiving with long text.
  • Flip one row per slide so the change is obvious.
  • Use a consistent status word across rows, such as on time or delayed.
  • Put the row people are waiting for at the end.

This tool is free, forever. No accounts, no paywalls, no catch.

I build these solo. If you want to support my work, donating a coffee would be highly appreciated! ☕

— me 👋

Hi, I'm Alexandro 👋

I left my Software Engineer role at Amazon to build tools that solve real problems — the kind big companies ignore because they read spreadsheets instead of using their own products.

I was spending over an hour daily just scheduling 2 shorts across 3 platforms — logging in, reformatting, uploading one by one. That felt broken. So I built PublishQPublishQ . Now I create 4 shorts in 3 minutes and schedule them to 4 platforms in under 30 seconds.

PublishQ is bootstrapped. No investors, no vanity metrics. I build what actually helps you — because I use it every day myself.

Thank you,

Alexandro
