Data Refresh
A Python script runs on a cron schedule to fetch live medal data from Wikipedia's API, saving locally as medals.json. The browser reads the local file to avoid CORS restrictions, no manual updates ever needed.
120px
Readable at 6 Feet
Every layout decision was driven by real-world viewing distance testing. Medal counts render at 120px+, event text at 26px minimum, and color contrast was validated against ambient lighting conditions in the room.
Night
Overnight Mode
From midnight to 9am, the screen dims to a near-black display showing only the Olympic rings at very low brightness, preserving sleep-friendly ambiance while keeping the system alive for morning refresh.
