TODO

App

• Display last_sale_date attribute from owners.rds somewhere in the UI so users know how current the ownership data is

Data

• Verify SCPA Public.xlsx column structure is stable across downloads
• Delete app from shinyapps.io (account: rob-wiederstein, appId: 14173710)
• Add cron job to run update_owners.R weekly inside the rstudio container: docker exec rstudio Rscript /home/rstudio/projects/r/stAndrews/data-raw/update_owners.R Note: app must reload owners.rds after refresh — either restart container or make app reactive to file changes

Features

• Add RentCast active listings tab - Pull active listings via RentCast API (see veniceProp/sarco for prior work) - Spatially filter to St. Andrews subdivision boundaries (data/plats/plats.shp) - Display on map + table (similar to Owners tab) - Store API key as environment variable, not in code - Consider caching results (API has rate limits)

Performance

• Optimize CI build time: create a pre-built base image with R packages already installed so renv restore is skipped on redeploy. Cold builds currently take ~10 minutes due to geo stack (sf, gdal) compilation.

Deployment

• Create Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .gitea/workflows/deploy.yaml
• Push to Gitea — act_runner deploys on push to main
• App live at apps.robwiederstein.org/stAndrews/

Notes:

• Gateway route is hardcoded in ~/docker/gateway/Caddyfile (import pattern failed)
• Volume mounts: only ./data and ./www — app code baked into image to avoid renv conflict
• act_runner registered at user level, not repo level
