Inspired by the work of @Benbotics we have created a dashboard for our pit that answers the never ending question: When is our next match?
Introducing the PiPitDisplay https://pipitdisplay.now.sh/

Setup Instructions
To use the dashboard you’ll need an API key from The Blue Alliance.
Step 1. Login to your TBA account (create one if needed).
Step 2. Scroll to the “Read API Keys” section on the accounts page. Type a description, for example I used pipitdisplay. Then click the “Add New Key” button.
Step 3. Copy your new API key.
Step 4. Open the https://pipitdisplay.now.sh/ webpage, scroll to the bottom and paste the API key into the “TBA API Key” field
Step 5. Choose an event to load. Then optionally enter a team number to filter on.

This is cool thank you for sharing. Does it work offline after an initial sync? How often does it poll if you are online?
Wow, this one is so good! We may even use use this to supplement the other dash.

This dashboard was designed with the intent that internet would be available. Since the predicted match times come from the TBA api and are updated as matches are played I think the countdown would frequently be wrong. Interesting idea though
