Fixing my ridiculous fridge with a tiny Funnel site

Kevin Purdy creatively addresses the limitations of his Samsung "SmartThings" refrigerator by using Tailscale Funnel to host a custom, lightweight web app. Frustrated with the slow and cumbersome interface of his fridge's Tizen-powered screen, Purdy decides to utilize a small web application originally developed by a friend, which pulls essential commuting data from public transit and bike share APIs. By customizing this app to suit his needs, he effectively turns his fridge's screen into a practical display for timely transportation updates, sidestepping the sluggishness of other applications. This approach underscores the potential simplicity and efficiency of small, purpose-built websites over complex, feature-heavy apps, while highlighting the appropriate use cases for Tailscale's Funnel and Serve services in maintaining security and accessibility online.
