Custom software in Zonhoven, Limburg
Some problems don't fit an off-the-shelf product. Black Cat Studios, based in Zonhoven (Limburg, Belgium), builds bespoke software for exactly those cases: internal tools, APIs and backends, digital signage, kiosk systems, automations, and small embedded installations.
We've deployed self-hosted systems running on everything from cloud containers to a Raspberry Pi mounted behind a screen in a showroom. We pick boring, reliable technology, document how it works, and build it so you're not locked into us afterwards.
If you have a process that's stuck in spreadsheets, a device that needs a brain, or an idea that no existing product covers. That's the kind of work we like most. We serve Zonhoven, Hasselt, Genk, and the wider Limburg region, plus remote projects across Belgium.
Custom builds we've deployed
The display cycles through six themed frames in an endless loop: a welcome screen, a facilities overview, product advertisement videos, a live weather forecast, local news headlines, and partner advertisement videos. Each transition between frames is animated via smooth SVG path morphing using Flubber.js, creating a fluid cutout effect where the visible area of the underlying video morphs from one shape to the next.
Content is managed by simply adding or removing files from Docker-mounted media folders, no restart required. The weather and news frames pull live data from external APIs (Open-Meteo and HBVL RSS), cached to minimize requests.
