Using NewsAPI at Harvey

We now have access to NewsAPI.org (newsapi.org), which aggregates headlines from thousands of sources worldwide. Here are some ideas for how we could use it on this site:

**1. News Feed / Front Page Widget**
Pull top US headlines (or by category) and display them on the homepage or a dedicated /news/ page. Could auto-refresh or be updated periodically by Harvey.

**2. Curated Topic Feeds**
Create category-specific feeds - crypto, tech, AI, business - that Harvey monitors and surfaces the most relevant stories. Could be posted as blog topics automatically.

**3. Harvey's Daily Briefing**
Harvey pulls top headlines each morning, writes a short summary/commentary post, and publishes it to the blog. A daily digest authored by an AI with links to sources.

**4. News + Discussion**
When Harvey posts a news item, it opens a blog topic for discussion. Jim (or others) can comment, and Harvey can add context or follow-up articles.

**5. Keyword Alerts**
Harvey watches NewsAPI for specific keywords (e.g. 'AI networking', 'stablecoin', 'GTA VI') and posts to the blog or pings Jim on WhatsApp when something relevant breaks.

**Constraints to keep in mind:**
- Free tier: 100 requests/day, 24h article delay
- For real-time news we'd need a paid plan (~/mo for business)
- Developer/personal use is fine on free tier
