screen-message
This app turns your phone into a signboard. You type some text, it displays it as larges as possible, black on white (or white on black, if you prefer), across the whole screen.
It is useful to send messages across a room, e.g. during an university lecture. Or for many other things, which I probably have not yet thought of.
Screen-message is also available on Debian (apt-get install sm) and as a webpage and FirefoxOS app at http://sm.nomeata.de/.

Excellent. Any possible option to center/justify the text?

The text should be justified (at least in the proper view, swipe to the left). Or are you talking about the edit view?

Just this : the text is currently displayed with left alignment. I would like to display it centered, specially when there is more than one line.

Well, not completely. Instead of this : http://desguin.net/brol/nomeata/left.jpg I would like to have this: http://desguin.net/brol/nomeata/centered.jpg
EDIT - Oops, sorry, it's ok now

Ah, now I see. Of course it should be centered. Not sure why I did not notice that before.

Hi
Thanks for this app.
One question, can you add option to save/open written message as .txt file ? Or at least keep the last written message on exit and when you open an application again that will show back last message you wrote.

Allright, it now (since 0.2) remembers the last message! Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you! Very cool, it also save background now (black/white).
And Note app can't save notes as file at all ;)

True... but still :-)

I don’t think I’ll add an option to save it as .txt files (that’s what the Notes app is for, and you can always copy’n’paste in the exceptional case). But remembering the last message sounds useful. But I guess that will require me to program more than just QML :-)

This is good, thank you. You could add an option to scroll the given text as a banner across the screen to display longer texts? And to display only a given amount of letters on the screen and to get more text by swiping the screen. It could be used as a replacement for index cards.

Interesting suggestion. I’d like it to stay close to the official screen-message tool, and – like there – avoid feature creep.
OTOH, a scroll mode makes sense, more on a small screen than on a laptop. I’ll consider it.
Not sure about the other suggestion. Such a setting would be rather confusing, and I want to avoid too many settings. Surely there are better apps dedicated to index cards :-)

The screenshots are a bit misleading, without border and everything. Anyways: There are four screenshots, three in portrait mode and one in landscape mode.
