Docket Watch

A live SCOTUS and federal-court opinion radar that emails you a cited digest the moment new rulings land — every card links straight to the real opinion PDF. After you answer 3-5 plain questions, you get a published, working URL showing LIVE federal-court opinions pulled from Synorb right now (not a mockup) — opinion cards you can filter by court and practice area, two charts that recompute from the real data, and a recurring email digest that fires on the schedule you picked. Every single card, chart segment, and email line traces back to a real court PDF via its source link; if a court or practice area has no new rulings in your window, you see an honest "no new opinions" state rather than invented filler. The Synorb Beacon is saved and re-runnable so the monitor keeps working unattended on Replit cron with no further setup.

A scheduled federal-court opinion radar.

Docket Watch is a hosted court-opinion radar with filters, charts, and a scheduled email digest. It should show real opinions, link to the actual court source, and stay honest when a court or practice area has no new rulings.

Replit supplies the deployed app and scheduler. Synorb supplies the court-opinion records and source links so the board and digest are built from cited material, not filler.

Click, answer a few plain-English questions, get a working product.

No setup to learn. Replit asks a handful of normal-person questions — each with a smart default, so “you pick” always works — then builds it with live Synorb data flowing in.

1

Which courts do you want to watch?

Smart default: The Supreme Court plus all federal circuit courts of appeals (the full Federal & Supreme Court Opinions feed)

2

Any specific areas of law you care most about? (e.g. immigration, antitrust, criminal, civil procedure, IP) — leave blank for everything

Smart default: All practice areas

3

How far back should the board and first digest look?

Smart default: The last 14 days

4

What email address should the cited digest go to, and how often?

Smart default: Send to the address you sign in with, once every weekday morning

5

Only email me about high-significance rulings, or everything new?

Smart default: Everything new, with high-significance rulings pinned to the top

Pick a look. It ships with taste by default.

Clerk's Bench

A calm, authoritative legal-research feel: serif headlines (case names) over a warm parchment/ivory background, a thin navy rule under each court section, and small caps for court names. Opinion cards read like docket entries — case name, court, date, a colored practice-area chip, then the holding. Charts in muted ink-blue and slate. Conveys 'official record,' optimized for lawyers who want trust over flash.

Docket Radar

A modern monitoring-dashboard aesthetic: dark slate board, neon-accent KPI tiles up top (New Today, This Week, Courts Active, Top Practice Area), a live time-series chart as the hero, and a high-significance 'Watch List' rail that pulses when new high-significance opinions arrive. Practice areas are color-coded across both the cards and the charts so a filter selection lights up the whole board. Feels like a situation room for rulings.

Reading Room

A content-first, distraction-free layout for journalists and policy readers: a single scannable column of large opinion cards with the brief narrative front-and-center and featured claims as pull-quotes, charts collapsed into a slim sidebar, and a prominent 'Read the opinion' primary button on every card. Generous whitespace, large type, mobile-friendly — built for reading and citing, not dashboards.

Synorb supplies the cited data. Replit builds the experience.

Synorb supplies the source-linked court opinions and citation metadata. Replit hosts the board, stores private credentials as secrets, runs the scheduled digest, and sends updates only when there is something new.

Questions builders ask.

Will this show real live data on the first run?

Yes. The build prompt connects Synorb at build time to learn the real data shape, then wires live Synorb data into the running product. After you answer 3-5 plain questions, you get a published, working URL showing LIVE federal-court opinions pulled from Synorb right now (not a mockup) — opinion cards you can filter by court and practice area, two charts that recompute from the real data, and a recurring email digest that fires on the schedule you picked. Every single card, chart segment, and email line traces back to a real court PDF via its source link; if a court or practice area has no new rulings in your window, you see an honest "no new opinions" state rather than invented filler. The Synorb Beacon is saved and re-runnable so the monitor keeps working unattended on Replit cron with no further setup.

Where do my Synorb credentials go?

Only where they are safe. Synorb supplies the source-linked court opinions and citation metadata. Replit hosts the board, stores private credentials as secrets, runs the scheduled digest, and sends updates only when there is something new. The public page should never contain credentials, secret names, or browser-visible keys.

How are sources shown?

Every opinion card and digest item should link to the actual court source returned by Synorb. If a selected court or topic has no new opinions, show that plainly instead of inventing examples.

Is this just a Synorb feed, or a real app?

A real app. Replit builds the product experience, while Synorb supplies the cited source layer. The result should have working UI, real data, source links, and honest empty states rather than a static mockup.

What will it ask me before building?

A few plain-English questions, each with a smart default so you can just say 'you pick': Which courts do you want to watch?; Any specific areas of law you care most about? (e.g. immigration, antitrust, criminal, civil procedure, IP) — leave blank for everything; How far back should the board and first digest look?; What email address should the cited digest go to, and how often?; Only email me about high-significance rulings, or everything new?.
