# BiasNews Aggregator
A full-stack news aggregation website that collects articles, uses AI to classify them by political bias (Left / Center / Right), and presents them in side-by-side columns. Includes a protected admin console for discovering news, managing API keys, and configuring automated searches.
## Features
- **Public site**
- Three-column layout: Left, Center, Right
- Search and filter by bias, topic, date, source
- Article detail pages with AI summary and bias explanation
- Mobile-responsive design
- **Admin console**
- Secure credential-based login
- Discover news on demand using NewsAPI, GNews, or Serper web search
- AI processing via Kimi (OpenAI-compatible API) for:
- Summarization
- Bias classification (LEFT / CENTER / RIGHT)
- Political tags (liberal / moderate / conservative)
- Importance ranking and credibility scoring
- Topic extraction
- Manage published/draft/archived articles
- Encrypted API key storage with easy rotation
- Automated search rules with cron scheduling
- Source credibility and active/inactive toggles
## Tech stack
- Next.js 16 (App Router, TypeScript)
- Tailwind CSS 4
- Prisma ORM + SQLite
- `jose` for session cookies
- `bcryptjs` for password hashing
- `node-cron` for scheduled rules
- `openai` SDK for Kimi-compatible APIs
## Local development
```bash
npm install
# Copy environment file and fill in secrets + API keys
cp .env.example .env.local
# Generate admin password hash
npx tsx scripts/generate-admin-hash.ts your-password
# Update ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH in .env.local
# Apply database migrations and seed default sources
npx prisma migrate dev --name init
npx prisma db seed
# Run dev server
npm run dev
```
Open:
- Public site: http://localhost:3000
- Admin console: http://localhost:3000/admin
## API keys
Add keys in **Admin > API Keys**:
| Provider | Purpose | How to get |
|----------|---------|------------|
| KIMI | AI summarization / bias / ranking | https://platform.moonshot.cn |
| NEWSAPI | News articles | https://newsapi.org |
| GNEWS | News articles | https://gnews.io |
| WEBSEARCH | Web search via Serper | https://serper.dev |
API keys are encrypted at rest with `API_KEY_ENCRYPTION_SECRET`.
## Deployment (Docker)
```bash
# Build image
docker build -t biasnews .
# Run container
docker run -d \
-p 3000:3000 \
-e DATABASE_URL="file:./data/dev.db" \
-e ADMIN_USERNAME=admin \
-e ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH="$2b$10$..." \
-e NEXTAUTH_SECRET="..." \
-e API_KEY_ENCRYPTION_SECRET="..." \
-e KIMI_API_URL="https://api.moonshot.cn/v1" \
-e KIMI_MODEL="moonshot-v1-8k" \
-v $(pwd)/data:/app/data \
biasnews
```
Or use Docker Compose:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
## Automated searches
Create a rule in **Admin > Auto Rules**. The scheduler loads active rules when the app starts and reschedules whenever rules change. Each rule specifies:
- Search query
- Sources to query
- Cron schedule
- Max results
- Minimum rank score threshold
- Whether to auto-publish results
## Architecture notes
- The admin console is part of the same Next.js app but protected by authentication. It can be accessed from a separate machine (e.g., local laptop) by browsing to the public URL and logging in.
- If you want a fully separate admin deployment later, the admin API routes are isolated under `/api/admin/*` and admin pages under `/admin/*`.
- SQLite is used for single-node simplicity. For production scale, switch to PostgreSQL by changing the Prisma datasource URL.
## Scripts
```bash
npm run dev # Start dev server
npm run build # Production build
npm run start # Start production server
npm run db:migrate # Run Prisma migrations
npm run db:seed # Seed default sources and admin user
npm run db:studio # Open Prisma Studio
```
