Anthropic News Blog

A FastAPI web app that aggregates the latest Anthropic news from top AI/tech publications and presents them in a clean, dark-mode-capable interface.

Features

• Live news aggregation — fetches Anthropic-related articles at startup from HackerNews, Wired, GeekWire, and ZDNet
• Configurable sources — add, remove, or disable news sources by editing sources.json; no code changes required
• Dual interface — server-rendered HTML frontend (Jinja2 + Bootstrap 5) alongside a JSON REST API
• Dark mode — user-selectable light/dark/auto theme persisted in localStorage
