TP Watch

Public-signal dashboard experiment.

TP-CON · ALERT LEVEL54321VIX · PG · KMB+12.4%SIGNALSPG +2.1% · VIX 21.4 · POLY 0.34

problem

Public signals are abundant but hard to read together. TP Watch asks what a tiny, opinionated dashboard can do with finance, news, and prediction-market signals when the interface is allowed to have a joke at the center.

context

The stress indicator is satirical, but the interface question is real: how much can a single-file public-data dashboard communicate without a backend, account system, or heavy charting layer?

what I built

I built TP Watch as one self-contained HTML file. It pulls public finance, news, and prediction-market data client-side and renders a compact TP-CON alert surface.

  • One self-contained HTML file with no backend and no build step
  • Pulls public finance, prediction-market, and news signals client-side
  • Uses a satirical alert layer to make a small data interface memorable

what I learned

Hard constraints make the product decisions better. One file and no backend forced the dashboard to stay focused on signal, hierarchy, and load behavior.
