Five PNGs at app/static/images/ (renamed from screenshot dumps): - dashboard.png — full dashboard hero shot, sits below the hero CTAs - news-feed.png — feature-card thumbnail: auto-tagged news feed - indicators-read.png — feature-card thumbnail: per-group AI commentary - strategic-log.png — feature-card thumbnail: hourly strategic log text - chat-with-log.png — "More views" gallery: ask follow-ups against a log Every screenshot is a <button class="shot"> with data-full + data-caption; click opens an HTML5 <dialog>-based lightbox. <dialog> handles focus trap, ESC-to-close, inert background; the backdrop click closes too. Images use loading="lazy" so the lightbox-only ones don't block first paint. CSS appended to cassandra.css: .shot, .shot-hero, .shots-grid, .shot__caption, and .shot-modal (+ ::backdrop). All colours pull from the existing palette vars so light and dark themes stay coherent. Total image weight: ~950 KB across all five — acceptable for a marketing landing page with lazy-loaded thumbnails. |

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:
- Landing: https://read.markets
- App: https://app.read.markets
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.

Endpoints
GET /— dashboardGET /portfolio/{name}— portfolio detailGET /news— news feedGET /log— strategic-log archiveGET /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).
