Overview

TrendRadar is an open-source news monitor that collects trending lists from 11 Chinese platforms such as Weibo, Zhihu and Douyin by default, plus any RSS feeds you add. You set keywords, or describe your interests in plain words for AI filtering, and it sends the matching items on a schedule to WeChat Work, Feishu, DingTalk, Telegram, Slack, email and other channels. Optional AI can also summarise and translate the results. It suits people who follow the news for work, such as creators, marketers and investors.

It can run from your own GitHub account with no server, and an online editor lets you set keywords and schedules through forms.

Good to know

You want a daily digest of trending news on a few topics without scrolling several apps. TrendRadar collects trending lists and RSS feeds, keeps the items that match your keywords and sends them to a channel you already read.

Limits

The no-server GitHub Actions setup pauses after 7 days unless you run its Check In workflow, and without remote storage it runs in a lite mode without trend tracking or AI analysis.
The default sources are Chinese platforms, and trending data comes through the separate newsnow project's API. AI filtering, summaries and translation need your own AI API key.
