Finally get rid of your FOMO. Agentic coding moves fast enough that the fear of being behind becomes its own daily stress. This digest is built to end it: one dated edition a day of what actually shipped in the AI coding tools you build with, ranked so the thing you would be behind without is first. Read it, reach the end, and you are current until tomorrow. Completely free, no hidden costs, no data trading. The fear you are missing something is not solved by more feed. It is solved by a finite one that is honest about when it stops. BEING BEHIND, MADE CHECKABLE Behind means the world moved, not that you failed to hear something discussed. So every edition is ranked by one question: would you be behind without this? Whatever fails that test does not run, however loud it was elsewhere. What is left is short enough to finish. There is no infinite scroll, no algorithmic reshuffle while you look at it, and no counter climbing into the hundreds while you are on holiday. Come back after a week away and you are told there is more waiting, never how much, because a number that grows in your absence is the exact pressure this app exists to remove. WHAT YOU GET - One numbered, dated edition a day, most important story first. - Releases, model changes, pricing and policy shifts, and the occasional thing worth trying. - Breaking alerts, only when something will not keep until tomorrow. - Stories grouped by what they are: releases, models, policy, and more. - Every story links straight to the original, so you can check any claim at its source. - Save what is worth keeping, and scroll back through every past edition. - Editions are cached, so a tunnel or a plane still gives you the last one. - Ships dark by default, and switches whenever you like. WHO IT IS FOR People who ship products with coding agents, and the people who manage them. Not a general AI news feed, and not for following the discourse. If it does not change what you build with, it does not make the edition. No account, no sign-up, no advertising, and nothing about you sold to anyone. Agentic Coding News Digest is an independent publication. It is not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor, or any other company whose announcements it summarises.
