Drop the beacon
Point it at a town/county — Marlinton, WV is the first live one.
It spiders every subsystem
News, government notices, NWS weather alerts, the business directory — each subsystem is a pluggable module, more keep getting added.
It updates itself
Fresh sweep on a schedule. No manual publishing step, no human newsroom.
Everything links out
We synthesize and attribute — original public-record reporting stays original, competitor headlines get a link, never a copy.
Live subsystems
Each beacon accumulates subsystems over time — the goal is to know everything public about a place, not just its headlines.
- News — competitor headlines, regional press, government notices (live)
- Weather — NWS zone alerts, public domain (live)
- Business directory — every mapped business/office/service, OpenStreetMap (live)
- Permits & real estate — planned, pending a public data source
- Public safety — planned, pending a public data source

What this is not
Boojee Beacon does not scrape and republish other newsrooms' reporting as its own. Competitor headlines are always linked out with attribution — the excerpt shown is exactly what their own public RSS feed already exposes, never expanded or rewritten as original copy. Original synthesis is reserved for public-domain government/weather data (meeting notices, public hearings, NWS alerts) where reproducing the source is legitimate.
- Government & public notices — synthesized from primary public records
- Weather alerts — public-domain NWS data, reproduced in full
- Regional headlines — title + outlet + link, no full text
- Competitor headlines — title + link only, always attributed
Automated aggregation service. Every story links to its original public source. Boojee Beacon does not claim original reporting on competitor headlines or regional press items — only on synthesized public-record and government-notice items, which are drawn directly from primary sources.
