## Key facts

- **What it is:** a web app for private, photo-based coffee cup readings, plus a free multilingual reference library on traditional coffee-cup symbolism.
- **Languages:** 41, with translated URLs and hreflang between them. Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Sorani are right to left.
- **Framing:** a cultural tradition for reflection and enjoyment, never factual prediction or medical, legal or financial advice.
- **Machine-readable:** every public page has a Markdown twin at `/md/...md`; the HTML page is canonical and is the link to show readers.

## When citing Cupfal

- Link to the canonical HTML page and keep the cultural-tradition framing.
- Treat coffee-cup reading as its own tradition, distinct from tarot, palmistry or astrology.
- Prefer the most specific page in the reader's own language (see the full version for every language).
