A new Show HN project called Headline is aimed at developers who want something useful to read while a coding agent is busy. The tool brings live news headlines directly into the agent session, turning waiting time during code generation or other tasks into a quick news check.
According to the project description, Headline shows rotating and clickable headlines while the agent is actively working. Rather than opening a separate site or app, users can follow current stories from inside the same environment where they are already coding.
The project is also designed to be flexible about news sources. Developers can connect it to an existing RSS setup, or use built-in providers right away with no extra configuration. That makes it suitable both for people with a customized reading workflow and for users who just want headlines to appear immediately.
Posted on GitHub as a Show HN entry, Headline positions itself as a lightweight addition to the coding-agent experience. Its core idea is simple: keep developers informed in real time without pulling them out of their working session.
