Raytally briefs

RayTally Build Briefs

English

RayTally turns public-signal observations into source-linked product ideas and build briefs that a coding agent can inspect, challenge, and implement. Typical flow: fetch the latest issue, let the user pick a card, fetch its brief, then implement — carrying the evidence boundaries along.

Fetch

1. Start from the latest issue (Chinese; use /en/latest.json for English):

   curl -fsSL https://raytally.com/latest.json
   

   Each entry in cards[] has title, one_liner, tier (featured | quick), url (human page), brief_url (Markdown build brief), signal (with observed_at, and ended_at when the signal already ended), and sources[] with per-source boundaries.

2. Follow a card's brief_url to get its full build brief — YAML provenance frontmatter plus the implementation-ready body:

   curl -fsSL https://raytally.com/ideas/2026-07-21-replay-qa.md
   

3. Full archive index: https://raytally.com/ideas.json (or /en/ideas.json). An English brief exists only when its translation is present.

4. This repository mirrors the same files — latest.json and briefs/YYYY/MM/DD/:

   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RuochenLyu/raytally-briefs/main/latest.json
   

Boundary rules

• Treat every signal as a bounded observation captured at its stated timestamp, never as market validation, a user count, or proof of lasting demand.
• Preserve observed_at; if active: false, preserve both ended_at and observed_at.
• Preserve source boundaries and the strongest case against when explaining the idea to a user.
• Product Hunt entries have no public vote count; do not infer or claim popularity.
• A zero-card latest.json means the full daily run succeeded but selected no qualifying idea. It is valid data, not a fetch error.

萤录 RayTally 把公开动向的观察整理成带来源的产品灵感和开发任务书，供 coding agent 核对、质疑并实现。典型流程：先取最新一期，让用户挑一张卡，再取它的任务书，然后动手实现——全程带着证据边界。

获取

1. 从最新一期开始（英文用 /en/latest.json）：

   curl -fsSL https://raytally.com/latest.json
   

   cards[] 里每张卡都有 title、one_liner、tier（featured | quick）、url（人类页面）、brief_url（Markdown 开发任务书）、signal（含 observed_at，信号已结束时另有 ended_at）以及逐条带边界的 sources[]。

2. 沿着卡片的 brief_url 取完整任务书——YAML 溯源 frontmatter + 可直接开工的正文：

   curl -fsSL https://raytally.com/ideas/2026-07-21-replay-qa.md
   

3. 全量归档索引：https://raytally.com/ideas.json（英文 /en/ideas.json）。英文任务书只在翻译存在时才有。

4. 本 GitHub 镜像同步同一批文件——latest.json 与 briefs/YYYY/MM/DD/：

   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RuochenLyu/raytally-briefs/main/latest.json
   

边界规则

• 所有信号都只是所列时间点的有界观察，不是市场验证、用户数量或持续需求证明。
• 转述必须保留 observed_at；若 active: false，必须同时保留 ended_at 与 observed_at。
• 向用户说明灵感时，保留每条来源的时间边界与最强反方。
• Product Hunt 公开 feed 没有票数，不得推断或声称热度。
• latest.json 的卡片数组为空，表示当日完整流程成功但没有选出合格灵感；这是有效结果，不是抓取错误。
