Concepts and terminology

News Dashboard uses a small vocabulary so product copy, documentation, and support conversations describe the same workflow.

Article

An article is a news item discovered from a subscribed source. It has a title, URL, summary, source, publication date, tags, and optional extracted body text. Triage, search, briefings, recommendations, and sharing all operate on articles.

Workflow state

Workflow state is your triage position for an article. It does not decide whether the article belongs to the day's news corpus.

State	Meaning
Today	In your active triage queue, waiting to be reviewed.
Later	Interesting, but not right now.
Done	Reviewed and finished.
Skipped	Dismissed as not relevant.
Archived	Tucked away from active views, but restorable.

Stars and snooze timers are separate from workflow state. A starred article can also be Today, Later, Done, or Archived. Starred articles cannot be skipped; unstar first if you want to skip one.

Today Feed

The Today Feed is your active triage queue. Articles arrive from new ingestions and, when enabled, recommendations. You move them to Done, Later, Skipped, or Archived as you work through them, and can star or snooze them.

Current-Day Report

The Current-Day Report is a generated briefing that summarizes all news discovered in the rolling 24-hour current-day window from your available sources. It includes articles regardless of workflow state, so marking an item Done or Skipped does not remove it from the day's report.

Source subscription

A source subscription is the set of feeds available to your account. A source can be an RSS or Atom feed, a GitHub releases feed, a trending feed, or a custom scraped page.

Knowledge graph

A knowledge graph is an entity relationship map built from your visible articles. Entities are people, organizations, products, and places extracted from article text. Co-occurrence edges mean two entities appeared in the same article; typed relationship edges are explicit article-supported relationships.
