TinkerHub Dashboard App

We have couple of TVs in our TInkerSpace. We want to show live activities happening around Tinkerhub in a tiles like view in the TV app. Activities For eg:

  1. Tweets about Tinkerhub and TinkerSpace
  2. Posts from TinkerHub, TInkerHub chapters and TInkerSpace instagram pages and other social medias
  3. Tweets from tech experts we follow ...etc This could be an android TV app or create a web app and run in browser

Platforms/ Stacks

  1. Android
  2. Web

Previously had an Experience building a similar project for a Convention Centre, Based on the outcomes, I have some suggestions :

  1. Since the TVs are android, Implementing start on boot for web apps in the TVs seems to be difficult.
  2. Would have to manually open the browser and point to the url after boot.
  3. Implementing Start on boot with Android app is possible, didn't try.

Required

  1. A Content Management System software for pushing updates running either in the local network, or in a cloud instance.
  2. A client app for pulling and showing updates.

Link for a server app that I took reference from

  1. A simple TV app is enough. Or we could create a web app and load it using a browser. No need for start on boot.
  2. Do we need a content management system software ? An admin view where we can edit the urls from which we are pulling the data is enough right ?
