*_PANELS block in src/config/panels.ts. When you open a panel and the content is empty, check Data Sources and the global health endpoint for the underlying feed’s status.
For the scoring, freshness, dedupe, story tracking, brief filtering, cooldown,
LLM, and bias controls shared across these feeds, see the canonical
News Digest and Briefing methodology.
Regional news
Regional panels scope the world to one macro-region’s news stream, with language coverage and source curation optimised for that region. They share theregional news family in the geopolitical variant and appear in the Cmd+K “News” group.
All free. Source curation and entitlement live in
src/config/variants/full.ts (and equivalents).
Topical news
Topic-scoped news feeds — each panel is the canonical news view for its domain. Topical panels are usually paired with the matching intelligence / data panel (e.g. Crypto News next to Crypto Sectors).
All free.
Tech / startup streams (tech variant)
The tech variant ships a large family of content streams covering the startup ecosystem, infrastructure trends, and tech-policy signals. They appear in the tech variant’s panel grid and are reachable from Cmd+K.
All free. Specific sub-feeds are configured in
src/config/variants/tech.ts.
Finance streams (finance variant)
The finance variant’s content-stream panels are tighter and market-focused.
All free. Stream configuration lives in
src/config/variants/finance.ts.
Energy streams (energy variant)
The energy variant ships a focused set of content streams for live energy headlines, oil and gas markets, and supply-chain chokepoints. The site has client-sideENERGY_FEEDS; the server digest currently normalises
variant=energy to full, so energy-only categories can use direct per-feed
fallback when they are absent from the digest.
All free. Stream configuration lives in
src/config/variants/energy.ts and
src/config/feeds.ts.
Happy variant feeds
The happy variant (positive-news product) replaces conflict-centric feeds with a curated set of constructive-news surfaces.
All free. Stream configuration lives in
src/config/variants/happy.ts.

- Custom Monitor highlighting — matching articles surface their monitor colour as an accent (including inside clusters).
- Cmd+K discoverability — each panel is searchable by its title and category.
- Free by default — none of the news-feed panels are PRO-gated.
