Daily Tech News - AI-Powered Daily News Digest Generator

Daily Tech News is a fully automated tech news aggregation and digest generation system. It automatically scrapes technical communities (like V2EX, Hacker News) and mainstream tech media RSS feeds every day, uses AI to intelligently analyze, filter hot topics, extract trends, and finally generates a structured tech digest.

Core Value

In this era of information explosion, we face the problems of fragmented information and content overload. Daily Tech News aims to solve these pain points:

• Time-Saving & Efficient: No need to manually browse 10+ websites; just check one digest a day to stay updated with tech dynamics.
• Intelligent Filtering: Uses AI to automatically filter essential content, remove noise, and extract core viewpoints.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Content covers multiple dimensions including Chinese communities, international news, and tech media.
• Fully Automated: Generates digests regularly every day and automatically pushes them to GitHub Pages without manual intervention.

Digest Preview

The daily briefing consists of three main sections: Must-Reads, Trends & Analysis, and Tools & Deep Dives.

The homepage automatically lists all historical digests in reverse chronological order for easy reference. (At the time of writing this article, it is the first day of operation, so there is only one digest.)

How It Works

The core workflow of the system is as follows:

1. Scheduled Trigger: GitHub Actions runs automatically every day at 8:00 Beijing Time. （You can change the trigger time）
2. Data Scraping: Parallely scrapes V2EX API, Hacker News Firebase API, and configured RSS feeds.
3. AI Analysis: Calls SiliconFlow (Anthropic compatible interface) large models (this project uses GLM-4.7) for content analysis, deduplication, and summary generation.
4. Publish & Deploy: Generates Markdown and HTML files, automatically commits code, and deploys to GitHub Pages.

How to Use

Method 1: Direct Access

Directly visit my deployed GitHub Pages: https://terence699.github.io/daily-tech-news/

Method 2: GitHub Actions Automation (Recommended)

This project is designed for GitHub Actions; you can have your own digest generator with simple configuration.

1. Fork this project to your GitHub repository.
2. Add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in repository settings (you can use an API Key compatible with the Anthropic API paradigm, such as SiliconFlow's API Key).
3. Enable GitHub Actions, and the system will run automatically every day.

Method 3: Local Run

You can also run scripts locally for debugging or generation:

# Install dependencies
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

# Configure environment variables
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Run generation
python scripts/tech_digest.py

Custom Configuration

You can customize your digest by modifying scripts/config.json:

• Add Data Sources: Add RSS feeds you follow in sources.rss.feeds.
• Adjust Model: Modify the llm field to switch different AI models.
