TNews

A locally-summarized tech-news pipeline for Arch-based systems.

Overview

A specialized automation tool for Arch-based Linux environments that monitors and parses decentralized tech sources. It aggregates raw RSS and web streams, passes payloads through local lightweight AI structures to extract single-sentence cognitive summaries, and routes the user to the root source on interaction.

Problem

Tech news is scattered and noisy; there is no privacy-respecting, glanceable summary feed on the desktop.

Approach

I wired an RSS/web aggregator into a KDE Plasma widget and used local lightweight AI for summarization, so the feed stays on-device and is presented as clickable headlines.
