Tao Reading is a web desk for five old Chinese patterns: the I Ching, dream symbols, palm creases, the twelve face palaces, and a mindful ritual. There is a sixth nav item, hand-string charms, which is only a waiting list.
Accounts are optional. A magic link saves history, and paid access — configured as a single deep reading or a subscription — removes the free watermark and unlocks the deeper photo readings. Payments go through an interface. The included Creem adapter talks only to Creem's test host and will not send a live charge. The sandbox completes a signed webhook on this machine.
Photographs are resized in the browser. If one is uploaded, it is read for the features the provider returns and then dropped. It is not written to the database or to the card bucket. Share cards are diagrams and sentences.
