Revolutionising Web Development for Digital Screens
Luke and I were shocked by the poor web experience on TV screens when we entered digital signage in 2014. ScreenCloud's founding principle is bringing modern web standards to screens, enabling the global army of web developers to build screen apps without learning new skills. We're opening up this small category to a massive software market.
Key Takeaways
- Digital signage traditionally lacked modern web standards and security
- ScreenCloud enables web developers to build screen apps with existing skills
- Opening the category to mainstream web development unlocks new possibilities

So Luke and I have been developing products for the web for well over 20 years, despite appearances. And when we came across the digital signage category back in 2014, we were pretty shocked at the quality of the web experience natively on TV screens. And to be honest, it hasn't improved much. When you're actually trying to run a modern, fast, secure web environment, most of the screens don't work that way. And you'd actually have to build back several years, which is both insecure, but also very difficult for modern web developers to build their products. So if you do ask a web developer, how do I build a product for screen? Normally they'll just shrug their shoulders and say, we don't know. The founding principle of ScreenCloud is to try and bring a modern web experience to screen to enable this army of web developers around the world to start building their own products for screens. We're still on that journey. And I think we've now got to a point where utilizing our product, most web developers could now build an app for screen without having to learn something new. We want to keep on opening this up and bring in this huge part of the software market into our small little category, because when that happens, we can start to solve so many more problems using screens. Thank you.
