Markets tour

On signed-in visits to Markets, Up-YourLife first shows the hero, then kindly asks if you want the spotlight tour. The invite is a compact tip - full title (never clipped),Yes starts, icon buttons open Help / FAQ, X skips. Each tip stays compact (step · full title · icons; wraps if needed) - Help and FAQ open the full guide. When Tour waits for a tap, a Lucide hand pointer animates on the lit control. The tour highlights the browse strip, types sample search text with several matching demo rows, cycles Filter / Sort / Per page / Pagination with a full demo list, shows Owner / Joined / Open badges, demos Create (Title field visible, without publishing) and Join step-by-step (Description, Requirement confirmation with Required vs Discussing, Select required, Accept & join - without saving), then can invite you into Tour practice: weekend bike repair - a client practice room (not a live book). Create steps spotlight Owner earnings & strategy, Done on that sheet, and the Terms agree box - green ring on the control you tap. On phones, badge and Open-row tips sit under the top bar so the highlighted demo row stays clear below; Search / Filter tips stay at the bottom of the Filters sheet. On phones the tour waits for you to tap Filters before Search / Filter / Sort (tip docks away from the Filters button so you can tap it; no auto-open, no duplicate search on the strip). Search-result rings the matching rows under the sticky strip so the top navbar and browse bar stay dimmed. After each demo result, the next tip opens immediately - no Watch gate or settle wait. The green action ring stays above sheets and menus so the cutout stays visible; intro steps preview the next control. Soft nudges and site toasts hide for the invite and live Tour. The tour invite is a thin one-line bar with a dim overlay. Restart from Tour next to Browse open markets. Guests see a bottom-left one-line Tour tip (Sign in, Help, FAQ). X collapses it to a small help button so the page stays free; a full refresh restores the tip until Sign in.

Search, filter, sort, pages

• Search - title, owner, or keyword. Results update after a short pause.
• Filter - All markets, My markets, Joined, or Open to join.
• Sort - Newest, most members, title, or highest momentum.
• Per page - 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50. Use pagination when the list spans more than one page.

On small screens, open Filters for Search, Filter, Sort, and Per page (the strip keeps Create + Filters only - no duplicate search). Reset clears search and puts Filter / Sort / Per page back to defaults.

Badges

• Owner - you created the market. You earn $0.10 plus 0.1% of every contract opened here, and you control requirements.
• Joined - you are a member (not the owner). List buy or sell orders; fair-priced counterparties can find you - Up-YourLife markets the book so you do not chase traffic yourself.
• Open - still available to join. Claim a seat early before the book fills. Shown on the row and in detail.

The Markets tour walks each badge on a short demo list (Owner, then Joined, then Open). On phones the tip stays under the top bar so you can see the ringed row. Demos clear when the tour ends.

Join and Open

Tap a row for details, then Join (accept every Required item first; Discussing is read-only) or Open to enter the market room. On phones the market title sits on its own row (up to three lines) so Join / Copy / Tour stay below - not crushed to a single letter. Copy link shares the market URL. The Markets tour Open step opens Tour practice: weekend bike repair (demo only - starts with empty requirements; tour steps seed demos, then clear). Live Open still enters a real room. Room tour steps: Join / requirements / depth / buy and sell - see How to create a market and mandatory requirements.
