Searches the Hacker News Algolia API for stories matching a curated list of mechanical-keyboard / firmware / tooling terms (mechanical keyboard, keyboard, keycap, cherry mx, QMK, ZMK, KMK, split keyboard, Karabiner, Raycast, kanata, key remapping, keyboard firmware) over the last 24h. Local Qwen3.6 filters out false positives (piano keyboards, generic 'shortcut' noise) using a strict prompt with worked examples.

Also runs Reddit search for kanata-related queries (jtroo kanata, key remapping software).

Model: Local Qwen3.6 (35B-a3b) on Ollama

Pulls messages from the personal Gmail "Keyboard" label (and sublabels like Keyboard/Tech) from the last 24h. Reddit notification emails are filtered out to avoid duplicating the Reddit pipeline. For each remaining email, Qwen extracts the primary article link, a one-line takeaway, and a clean title from the body — turning vendor newsletters and indie keyboard blogs into wire items.
