<h1 style="text-align: center;">About RSTAT</h1>
<h2 style="color: #cbd5e0; border-bottom: 1px solid #4a5568; padding-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 2rem;">What is this?
</h2>
<p style="color: #a0aec0; line-height: 1.8;">
RSTAT (Reddit Stock Analysis Tool) is an automated data pipeline that scans popular financial communities on Reddit
to identify and analyze trending stock tickers. It provides a daily and weekly snapshot of the most discussed
stocks, their social sentiment, and key financial data.
</p>
<h2 style="color: #cbd5e0; border-bottom: 1px solid #4a5568; padding-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 2rem;">How does it
work?</h2>
<p style="color: #a0aec0; line-height: 1.8;">
The system is composed of several automated scripts:
<ul>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem;">A <strong>scraper</strong> runs on an hourly schedule to read new posts and
comments from a predefined list of subreddits.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem;">A <strong>sentiment analyzer</strong> scores each mention as Bullish, Bearish, or
Neutral using a natural language processing model.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem;">A <strong>data fetcher</strong> enriches the ticker data with the latest closing
price and market capitalization from Yahoo Finance.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem;">All data is stored in a local <strong>SQLite database</strong>.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.5rem;">This <strong>web dashboard</strong> reads from the database to provide a clean,
interactive visualization of the results.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h2 style="color: #cbd5e0; border-bottom: 1px solid #4a5568; padding-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 2rem;">What qualifies
as a "mention"?</h2>
<p style="color: #a0aec0; line-height: 1.8;">
The counting logic is context-aware. If a stock ticker is found in a post's <strong>title</strong>, the system
assumes the entire comment section is about that ticker and credits it with a mention for every comment. If no
ticker is in the title, it only counts <strong>direct mentions</strong> within comments. This provides a more
accurate picture of a stock's overall discussion volume.
</p>
<h2 style="color: #cbd5e0; border-bottom: 1px solid #4a5568; padding-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 2rem;">Supporting the
Project</h2>
<p style="color: #a0aec0; line-height: 1.8;">
RSTAT is a free and <b>soon-to-be</b> open-source project developed as a passion for data and financial markets. To ensure the
dashboard remains fast, reliable, and publicly accessible, it is hosted on a small virtual server with running costs
of approximately $6 per month and the domain about €30 per year.
