Hey Product Hunt, I’m David, one of the makers of Messageboard. We built Messageboard because we kept needing the same small tool: a place where programmatic updates from scripts, deploys, cron jobs, and monitoring checks could become visible without building another internal dashboard. The workflow is simple: - POST a message to the API with a unique name. - Add a dashboard widget for that message name - POST again with the same name when the status changes. - The widget shows the latest version, and the history stays available. That makes Messageboard useful for: - Deploy status boards. - Service health boards. - Cron job summaries. - Incident updates. - Internal announcements. - API-driven changelogs. We made a few deliberate choices: - Versioning is built in. A status message is not just a log line. It has a current state and a history. - The API is the product. The dashboard is the first-party display layer. - Setup should take minutes. No SDK, no connector, no custom frontend. There is a free tier with no credit card required. The quickest way to test it is to create an API key, POST a message, add the matching widget, then POST a second version and watch the widget update. We would love feedback from developers, ops teams, and anyone who has built one too many internal status boards. Try it: https://messageboard.tech
