LED Banner: Neon Text Scroller
Your phone, held up as a scrolling LED sign. Type a message, pick a look, and turn the screen sideways: the text runs across the full width at whatever speed you set, bright enough to read from the back of a room.

What It Does Not Do
It does not export video or GIFs, there is no Home Screen widget, and it does not send the banner to an external screen or AirPlay. What you get is the phone itself as the sign.
Where People Use It
Airport arrivals, concerts and fan sections, a market stall or a shop counter, a party, a proposal, a school corridor, a picket line, a hen night.

What's new in 1.3.0
The scroll position came from the world clock, not from when the banner opened, and it showed in two ways. Opening a banner dropped it at a random point in the cycle: the text almost never entered from the edge, it just appeared halfway across. And moving the speed slider made the text jump instead of speeding up — at 80 pt/s, ten seconds in, going to 100 shifted it two hundred points sideways in one frame. Both came from the same place. The banner now counts the distance it has travelled, so it always starts at the edge, and changing the speed changes how fast it moves without moving it. Five tests pin the path. The App Store page was also still the one from launch: it did not say what the free plan includes, and it carried a duplicate set of terms and privacy links.
