Crawls 11+ Chinese social platforms (Zhihu, Weibo, Bilibili, Douyin, etc.) and RSS feeds simultaneously, normalizing heterogeneous data schemas into a unified NewsItem model with platform-agnostic metadata. Uses platform-specific adapters that extract title, URL, hotness rank, and engagement metrics, then merges results into a single deduplicated feed ordered by composite hotness score (rank × 0.6 + frequency × 0.3 + platform_hot_value × 0.1).
Unique: Implements platform-specific adapter pattern with 11+ crawlers (Zhihu, Weibo, Bilibili, Douyin, etc.) plus RSS support, normalizing heterogeneous schemas into unified NewsItem model with composite hotness scoring (rank × 0.6 + frequency × 0.3 + platform_hot_value × 0.1) rather than simple ranking
vs alternatives: Covers more Chinese platforms than generic news aggregators (Feedly, Inoreader) and uses weighted composite scoring instead of single-metric ranking, making it superior for investors tracking multi-platform sentiment
Filters aggregated news against user-defined keyword lists (frequency_words.txt) using regex pattern matching and boolean logic (required keywords AND, excluded keywords NOT). Implements a scoring engine that weights matches by keyword frequency tier and calculates relevance scores. Supports regex patterns, case-insensitive matching, and multi-language keyword sets. Articles matching filter criteria are retained; non-matching articles are discarded before analysis and notification stages.
Unique: Implements multi-tier keyword frequency weighting (high/medium/low priority keywords) with regex pattern support and boolean AND/NOT logic, scoring articles by keyword match density rather than simple presence/absence checks
vs alternatives: More flexible than simple keyword whitelisting (supports regex and exclusion rules) but simpler than ML-based relevance ranking, making it suitable for rule-driven curation without ML infrastructure
TrendRadar scores higher at 51/100 vs Quadratic at 29/100. Quadratic leads on quality, while TrendRadar is stronger on adoption and ecosystem. TrendRadar also has a free tier, making it more accessible.

Detects newly trending topics by comparing current aggregated feed against historical baseline (previous execution results). Marks new topics with 🆕 emoji and calculates trend velocity (rate of rank change) to identify rapidly rising topics. Implements configurable sensitivity thresholds to distinguish genuine new trends from noise. Stores historical snapshots to enable trend trajectory analysis and prediction.
Unique: Implements new topic detection by comparing current feed against historical baseline with configurable sensitivity thresholds. Calculates trend velocity (rank change rate) to identify rapidly rising topics and marks new trends with 🆕 emoji. Stores historical snapshots for trend trajectory analysis.
vs alternatives: More sophisticated than simple rank-based detection because it considers trend velocity and historical context; more practical than ML-based anomaly detection because it uses simple thresholding without model training; enables early-stage trend detection vs. mainstream coverage
Supports region-specific content filtering and display preferences (e.g., show only Mainland China trends, exclude Hong Kong/Taiwan content, or vice versa). Implements per-region keyword lists and notification channel routing (e.g., send Mainland China trends to WeChat, international trends to Telegram). Allows users to configure multiple region profiles and switch between them based on monitoring focus.
Unique: Implements region-specific content filtering with per-region keyword lists and channel routing. Supports multiple region profiles (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, international) with independent keyword configurations and notification channel assignments.
vs alternatives: More flexible than single-region solutions because it supports multiple geographic markets simultaneously; more practical than manual region filtering because it automates routing based on platform metadata; enables region-specific monitoring vs. global aggregation
Abstracts deployment environment differences through unified execution mode interface. Detects runtime environment (GitHub Actions, Docker container, local Python) and applies mode-specific configuration (storage backend, notification channels, scheduling mechanism). Supports seamless migration between deployment modes without code changes. Implements environment-specific error handling and logging (e.g., GitHub Actions annotations for CI/CD visibility).
Unique: Implements execution mode abstraction detecting GitHub Actions, Docker, and local Python environments with automatic configuration switching. Applies mode-specific optimizations (storage backend, scheduling, logging) without code changes.
vs alternatives: More flexible than single-mode solutions because it supports multiple deployment options; more maintainable than separate codebases because it uses unified codebase with mode-specific configuration; more user-friendly than manual mode configuration because it auto-detects environment
Sends filtered news articles to LiteLLM, which abstracts over multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, local models, etc.) to generate structured analysis including sentiment classification, key entity extraction, trend prediction, and executive summaries. Uses configurable system prompts and temperature settings per provider. Results are cached to avoid redundant API calls and formatted as structured JSON for downstream processing and notification delivery.
Unique: Uses LiteLLM abstraction layer to support 50+ LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, local models, etc.) with unified interface, allowing provider switching via config without code changes. Implements in-memory result caching and structured JSON output parsing with fallback to raw text.
vs alternatives: More flexible than single-provider solutions (e.g., direct OpenAI API) because it supports cost-effective provider switching and local model fallback; more robust than custom provider integration because LiteLLM handles retries and error handling
Translates article titles and summaries from Chinese to English (or other target languages) using LiteLLM-abstracted LLM providers with automatic fallback to alternative providers if primary provider fails. Maintains translation cache to avoid redundant API calls for identical content. Supports batch translation of multiple articles in single API call to reduce latency and cost. Integrates with notification system to deliver translated content to non-Chinese-speaking users.
Unique: Implements LiteLLM-based translation with automatic provider fallback and in-memory caching, supporting batch translation of multiple articles per API call to optimize latency and cost. Integrates seamlessly with multi-channel notification system for language-specific delivery.
vs alternatives: More cost-effective than dedicated translation APIs (Google Translate, DeepL) when using cheaper LLM providers; supports automatic fallback unlike single-provider solutions; batch processing reduces per-article cost vs. sequential translation
Distributes filtered and analyzed news to 9+ notification channels (WeChat, WeWork, Feishu, Telegram, Email, ntfy, Bark, Slack, etc.) using channel-specific adapters. Implements atomic message batching to group multiple articles into single notification payloads, respecting per-channel rate limits and message size constraints. Supports channel-specific formatting (Markdown for Slack, card format for WeWork, plain text for Email). Includes retry logic with exponential backoff for failed deliveries and delivery status tracking.
Unique: Implements channel-specific adapter pattern for 9+ notification platforms with atomic message batching that respects per-channel rate limits and message size constraints.
