README

Tech News for Pi

Bring technology news from several sources into Pi for browsing and summaries.

What you can do

  • Collects technology stories from several sources.
  • Offers general and security-focused feeds.
  • Filters by source, topic, account, or community.
  • Can save selected feeds locally for later reading.

Install

Install it through Pi:

pi install npm:@firstpick/pi-extension-tech-news

Restart Pi if the package does not appear in your current session.

How to use it

Run /news for a small combined feed. Choose a source or topic when you want something narrower, and use the save commands when you want a local copy.

Start with the combined feed:

/news

Or choose a source and number of stories:

/news socket 10
/news reddit 20 hot
/news dailydev 10 recent

Useful commands:

  • /news-setup — configure optional daily.dev, Reddit, or X sources. Tokens and session cookies entered here are saved to Pi’s agent environment file; treat that file as sensitive.
  • /news-save — show the feed and save a copy locally.
  • /news-sec — focus on security news.
  • /news-sec-save — show and save the security feed.

Source filters, subreddit lists, account lists, ranking modes, and the complete syntax are in the technical reference.
