It was designed to give me a single place to monitor the news events most relevant to my algorithmic trading system, Taciturn specifically anything affecting oil prices, gold, silver, and global market sentiment.</p> <div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://orlandovs.pages.dev/images/Screenshot_2026-04-13_at_02.24.28.png" style="width:65%" /></div> <h2 id="how-it-works">How it works</h2> <p>The backend is a Python Flask app that pulls from a curated set of RSS feeds every five minutes, including Al Jazeera, Reuters, BBC World, BBC Politics, OilPrice.com, and The Guardian US. Every article is automatically scanned for keywords and tagged — OIL, GOLD, SILVER, GEOPOLITICAL, TRUMP — so the most relevant stories surface immediately. Urgent articles trigger a push notification to my phone via Pushover.</p>
