Sources

Every edition is assembled from these four feeds. We do not crawl the publications themselves — only their public RSS / Atom feeds. Republication rights for headlines and short summaries are claimed under fair use / fair dealing. Headlines link to the originating publication.

Hacker News (front page, 100+ points)

A curated front page of community-voted technology stories. We use the public RSS bridge filtered to stories with at least 100 points; this caps the daily volume to roughly the top of the feed and trims noise. Where present, the “Discussion” link beneath a summary points to the comment thread.

Suggesting a source

The Brief intentionally keeps a short list. If you would like to suggest a source, write to editor@pepebot.com with a feed URL and a sentence on why it complements rather than duplicates the existing four.
