We’ve been doing this for a couple of months at work for internal memos and decision records, it’s really powerful. I love being able to drop in interactive visuals and more dynamic content. We have a Cloudflare R2-backed Document Store for managing them, and CLI for publishing, and I’m working on an MCP server for long-term discovery and context.

My team kept asking if they could leave comments though, so I built Annotent [1] to help with that, which is also MCP-backed.

In hindsight, a totally expected achievement given where models are and the high quality tests available, but wildly impressive all the same.

I don’t know what this means but it feels like yet another milestone moment.

Hey - I wrote the original code that was forked (exquisitely, I should add!) by Balena. The original code is just a Python script.

I haven’t written it up into a blog yet, but everything to get you started is on my GitHub at https://github.com/chrishutchinson/train-departure-screen. Very happy to help answer any questions too
