nyheter

A Norwegian news syndication app. Scrapes major news sites, tracks story prominence, and produces daily morning and evening editions of the 10 most important stories with AI-generated summaries.

How it works

1. Scrapes the front pages of NRK, VG, TV2, Dagbladet, ABC Nyheter, and Aftenposten every 10 minutes
2. Tracks which stories stay near the top and appear across multiple sites
3. At 6am and 6pm, generates an edition of the top 10 stories
4. Summaries are generated by a local model (fox/gemma4, with cube/qwen3 as fallback)

Stack

• Go
• SQLite
• HTMX
• Local LLMs (llama-swap / Ollama)

AI summaries

Summaries come from a primary backend with automatic fallback to a secondary one when the primary is unreachable. The two may speak different protocols:

• Primary — fox: gemma4:26b served by llama-swap over the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions API (AI_API=openai).
• Fallback — cube: qwen3:14b served by Ollama's native /api/chat API (AI_API=ollama).

Fallback is per request: every article tries the primary first, so a recovered primary is used again immediately with no cooldown. Set AI_FALLBACK_URL="" to disable the fallback and use only the primary.
