i have been the unofficial family portfolio manager for a while, which meant screenshots and p&l summaries on request, all day, forever.

this fetches all of them and shows one position list with live prices. no advice, no charts, no engagement mechanics.

it is deliberately boring. that is why it still gets opened.

what it does

prices refresh every five minutes from yahoo finance. one overview with p&l, the sensex and nifty 50, and the day's gainers and losers. it installs to a home screen as a pwa.

there is also a read only endpoint that returns the summary and holdings as json, so a model or a script can read the portfolio too.
