Alpha Pulse site (Pulse-Site-Demo-v1-Not-Public)
Everything on the Alpha Pulse site lives in this one repo and is served by GitHub Pages at
https://mrmikerbrown-maker.github.io/Pulse-Site-Demo-v1-Not-Public/
The site is public to anyone with the link, despite the repo name.
What is where
| Folder | Page |
|---|
/ (index.html) | Home page with live cards for each tool |
calendar/ | This week (economic calendar) |
index-contribution-site/ | Index Contribution (S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow); preview/ is a test copy |
surprises/ | Data Surprises |
economy-thermometer/ | Economy Thermometer |
clock/ | Market Clock |
central-banks/ | Central banks |
fed-scenario-planner/ | Fed Scenario Planner |
glossary/ | Glossary page |
Shared by every page:
nav.js: the top bar and menu. To add a tool to the menu, add one line to TOOLS.glossary.js: the hover definitions. To add a term, edit GG.
Every page links with relative paths, so the repo can be renamed again without breaking links.
Data jobs (Actions tab)
All the jobs are free GitHub Actions and need no passwords or keys. Each one can be run by hand from the Actions tab with Run workflow.
| Job | When (UK time) | Updates |
|---|
| Calendar: update this week | every 15 min on weekdays, every 30 min overnight for Asia, plus Sat/Sun | calendar/data/ |
| Central banks: update rates | about 06:30 and 20:30 in winter (an hour later in summer) | central-banks/data.json |
| Economy Thermometer: update data | about 06:17 in winter (07:17 in summer) | economy-thermometer/data.json |
| Index Contribution: save SPY weights | 13:15 on weekdays in winter (14:15 in summer) | index-contribution-site/spy-weights*.csv |
| Fed Scenario Planner: update data | weekdays 22:30 (often runs a few hours late) | fed-scenario-planner/data.json |
| Index Contribution: save last session | 16:40 New York time on weekdays | index-contribution-site/last-session.csv, periods.csv |
Every job saves through .github/save.sh, which retries if another job saved at the same moment and then asks GitHub Pages to rebuild.
The tools used to live in their own repos (calendar, central-banks, economy-thermometer, index-contribution-site, and the private fed-scenario-planner). They were moved here on 11 Nov 2026 with their history kept.
Brand (Alpha Pulse)
Colours, fonts and logos live in brand/:
brand/brand.css holds every shared colour and the font. Each page loads it last, so a colour changed there changes everywhere.brand/logo/ holds the logo files. They are PLACEHOLDERS traced from the brand guide. When the official files arrive, upload them with the same names (bar-paper.svg, bar-near-black.svg, icon-32.png, icon-192.png, icon-512.png, icon.svg) and every page picks them up.brand/fonts/ holds "AP Display": Creato Display (SIL Open Font License, OFL.txt) with tabular figures added so numbers line up. The licence asks for a new name on a changed copy, hence "AP Display".
