Summary

Updated the README.md to better reflect the project's identity, vision, and current feature set. This includes a complete rebranding with the introduction of the Alertle Turtle mascot, a more compelling project description, and documentation of additional features.

Changes Made

  • Rebranded tagline: Changed from generic "Sports alert notifications powered by ESPN, EPG, and your preferred push service" to "He's slow. Your alerts aren't." with the Alertle Turtle mascot introduction
  • Expanded project description: Added context that this is a self-hosted EPG monitoring system flexible enough for any programming, not just sports
  • Added mascot section: Introduced the Alertle Turtle as the project's mascot with humorous branding that emphasizes reliability despite the ironic slowness theme
  • Added "Vibe Coded" section: Documented that the project was built through AI-assisted development, setting expectations and inviting community contributions
  • Updated feature list: Added two previously undocumented features:
    • First-start setup wizard for easier initial configuration
    • Backup and restore functionality with V1 import support

Notable Details

The changes maintain the existing structure and technical documentation while significantly improving the project's personality and approachability. The additions emphasize the project's unique development approach and make the feature set more complete and transparent to new users.

When docker compose up runs before the host config file exists, Docker
creates the bind-mount target as a directory. _load_raw() now returns {}
(empty config) in that case so the app starts cleanly and the first-start
wizard can run. _save_raw() raises a clear RuntimeError instead of
crashing silently.
