@ -18,43 +18,62 @@ Most options should be pretty self-explanatory, but a few notes:
- You can use the price snapshots, if you decide to create them with `dump-price-snapshot`, to create pretty time series graphs
- Currently, we _only_ support `ntfy`, as well as the official `ntfy` server as the notification channel

6. Support simple stdout responses. We always dump to csv files for the price queries currently,
this definitely needs to change.
