News feed too sparse: built a custom hourly digest

Screenshot: News feed too sparse: built a custom hourly digest

What it does

Muse builds a custom news artifact that scans Hacker News, Techmeme, and high-signal X accounts every hour. It filters posts against your inclusion criteria, alerts you to urgent matches, and stores all summaries in a searchable database. Each hour it shortlists qualifying posts, reads the full ones, and writes summaries so you can scan quickly without opening multiple feeds.

Why it is worth it

Fills the gaps left by sparse default feeds. Running hourly hands-off means you always have fresh coverage without manual checking. A searchable database means you can go back to something you saw hours ago without scrolling through everything again.
