Key Technical Decisions

Content Discovery

• RSS Feeds: Curated feeds from OpenAI, Anthropic, Cloudflare blogs
• Google News: Broad industry discovery layer
• Hacker News: Top 50 trending developer stories

Viral Scoring

• Priority boosts for major AI breakthroughs and version releases
• Developer guardrails rejecting consumer tech noise
• Expert source weighting for high-signal domains

Visual Generation

• Provider Cascade: Gemini Imagen → Pollinations.ai → Local PIL fallback
• 7 Dynamic Layouts: Center, Split, Border, Corner, Full Overlay
• Thematic Mapping: Content-aware visual selection (AWS → Shield, AI → Network)

Safety & Quality

• Strict "Observer" voice enforcement (They/Them, no corporate "We/Us")
• Auto-appended source links and hashtags
• Dry-run mode for testing without API calls
