Tech Updates to Slack

Fetches tech updates by topic (Google News RSS), dedupes/summarizes, and posts a daily digest to Slack. Runs at 09:00 UTC via GitHub Actions; can also run manually.

Setup

1. Slack: Create an app, enable Incoming Webhooks, add a webhook to your workspace, copy the webhook URL.
2. GitHub: Push this repo. In repo Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions, add secret SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL with that URL.
3. Topics: Edit config/sources.yaml and list topics (e.g. Python, Hacker News). No URLs—feeds are built from topic names. Optional: max_items_per_run, summary_max_length, max_items_per_topic.

Run

Local (dry-run, no Slack):

pip install -r requirements.txt
python src/main.py --dry-run

Local (sends to Slack):

export SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL="https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/WEBHOOK"
python src/main.py

GitHub: Workflow runs daily at 09:00 UTC. To run now: Actions → Daily tech updates to Slack → Run workflow.
