Newsnow is a terminal-based news aggregator and RSS feed reader built with TypeScript. It provides a command-line interface for fetching and displaying real-time news headlines and content streams, allowing users to monitor current events directly within their terminal environment without the need for a graphical web browser.
The tool distinguishes itself by integrating with artificial intelligence assistants through a standardized protocol, enabling these models to query and retrieve external information for improved context. It also supports identity verification through external accounts to synchronize user preferences and data across multiple sessions and devices.
The application manages information flow through asynchronous data polling and time-to-live caching, which minimizes redundant network requests and maintains content freshness. It supports persistent storage for user state and is designed for deployment within containerized environments to ensure consistent execution across different hosting infrastructures.
