spyd3rwebs — Catching headlines from the web

spyd3rwebs is an intelligent news platform. Research  ·  Writing  ·  Publishing  ·  Social Networking  ·  All done automatically.

spyd3rwebs is a fully automated news intelligence and newsletter operation. A custom Python stack aggregates from 50+ standard and custom RSS sources (RSS feeds are used to insure accurate data, and not AI "hallucinations"). Topics include breaking news, finance, politics, health, tech, science, food, travel, and more, updating twice a day, shuffling sources to prevent source stagnation.

Before anything is published, everything gets neutrally rewritten by AI, so only original content goes out. The two newsletters below are built daily from those feeds: The Pulse (morning briefing) and N.R.R.D. (afternoon recap). Each edition is published here, delivered by email to subscribers, and updated on the social network formally known as twitter, all without human intervention.
