The Train Destination Display is a minimalist web application that faithfully emulates the iconic Hamburg U-Bahn destination display (used until 2025) – including its characteristic dot-matrix style and countdown.

Project Context
Originally created as part of my wedding website, it evolved into a standalone project with a focus on visual authenticity and easy customization.

Features

• Emulation of the original dot-matrix display with realistic pixel rendering
• Configurable destination texts, line numbers, and symbols via a simple configuration file
• Flexible layout logic for handling varying text lengths and multiple lines
• Customizable pixel mapping for different display types

Technical Implementation

• Pure JavaScript without frameworks for maximum portability
• Rendering via HTML & CSS using a custom pixel grid
• Modular structure for easy integration into other web projects
