Giorgio Gilestro 2297f9b2ed pricing: land £7/£70 paid tier and make behaviour match
Marketing + behaviour pass to get the site ready for Paddle approval.

Pricing page
- £7/month, £70/year headline (was "Coming soon").
- Bigger tier names (was 11px uppercase mono — looked like chips).
- Real CTAs (button base styles were only scoped to .hero__ctas).
- "Best value" badge + drop-shadow on the Paid card; full-width
  block CTAs that align across both cards.
- "Free vs Paid at a glance" comparison table beneath the cards.
- Compact "Invite a friend — both get 50% off for 3 months"
  callout with the detail explanation behind a <dialog> popup.

Tier copy + behaviour now consistent
- Free strategic-log refresh is every 6 hours, not hourly. New
  read-side filter on /api/log/{latest,by-date} restricts free
  users to logs at boundary hours (00/06/12/18 UTC); paid users
  still see the most recent.
- Follow-up chat is paid-only. /api/chat returns 402 for free;
  the chat sidebar on /log is replaced with a locked aside and
  chat.js no longer loads at all for free users.
- Dashboard meta lines + landing copy softened so they no longer
  promise hourly to everyone.

Future-proofing copy on public pages
- Dropped "free forever" wording (we may close the free tier).
- "Trading 212 CSV" became "broker CSV (Trading 212 today; more
  planned)" on pricing + landing; the actual import UIs stay
  T212-specific.

Terms
- Renamed Terms of Service -> Terms and Conditions (Paddle
  expectation), bumped last-updated to 2026-05-26.
- New §6 Refunds covering the 14-day cooling off, post-window
  cancellation, termination-by-us refunds, statutory rights, and
  how to request a refund.
- Renumbered §7-§14 and fixed the disclaimer link labels.

Tests
- 6 new tests in tests/test_chat_and_log_gates.py cover the
  chat 402 + the boundary-hour filter on both log endpoints.
- Full suite: 205 passed, 5 skipped, 0 failed.

Read the Markets

Containerised macro-strategy dashboard — hourly market data, RSS news, Trading 212 portfolio, and an AI-generated strategic log written by Cassandra, the in-product seer. Read-only by design.

Production:

The Python package is still named cassandra and several internal identifiers (cookie names, advisory-lock keys, CASSANDRA_TOKEN env var, CSS filename) keep the legacy name on purpose — renaming them would invalidate live sessions / locks / configs for no user benefit. See app/branding.py for the brand single-source-of-truth.

Quick start (local dev)

cp .env.example .env       # fill in API keys; set CASSANDRA_TOKEN if exposing
docker compose up --build  # db + app + scheduler + daily backup sidecar
open http://localhost:8000/  # or whichever CASSANDRA_PORT you set

docker-compose.override.yml is auto-loaded and adds the host port binding so the app is reachable on localhost.

Production (VPS, NPM-fronted)

Always invoke with explicit -f flags — that way the dev override is skipped and the prod overlay (no host port, joins the external intranet Docker network, uvicorn on port 80) is applied:

docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build

Point Nginx Proxy Manager at upstream readmarkets-app-1:80.

Architecture

  • app (FastAPI + Jinja2 + HTMX) — web dashboard on port 8000
  • scheduler (APScheduler) — hourly ingestion jobs (market, news, portfolio, AI log)
  • db (MariaDB 11) — quotes, headlines, portfolio snapshots, strategic logs, job runs
  • backup (sidecar) — daily mariadb-dump to ./backup/

See /home/gg/.claude/plans/ok-i-think-this-tidy-lake.md for the design plan.

Config

File Purpose
config/default.toml Universal data tables: indicator groups, RSS feeds, keyword presets
config/portfolio.toml User-specific portfolios (overrides default.toml)
.env Secrets and runtime knobs — mounted read-only into containers

Endpoints

  • GET / — dashboard
  • GET /portfolio/{name} — portfolio detail
  • GET /news — news feed
  • GET /log — strategic-log archive
  • GET /api/health — job status (last success / failure per job)

All authenticated routes require Authorization: Bearer $CASSANDRA_TOKEN if the env is set; if unset, the app is open (LAN-only mode).
