What is BIGWORDS.PAGE?
BIGWORDS.PAGE turns any device with a web browser into a large display for messages, signs, or timers. You type your text directly into the URL, and the page automatically fits the content to fill the entire screen. It works on phones, tablets, laptops, and smart televisions without requiring an app or user account.
The tool supports basic formatting like bold, italic, and headings. You can create rotating slides by separating text with double pipes, add countdown timers using date or duration settings, and generate QR codes for Wi-Fi passwords or links. All visual settings, including background color, text color, font size, and animations, are controlled through simple parameters in the link.
Because the message and settings are stored entirely within the browser URL fragment, no data is sent to or stored on a server. The project is open source under the MIT license, and all bundled fonts carry their own open licenses. Users can access the built-in editor, read documentation, or view the source code on GitHub.
