Nice work! I particularly like the tags.

How did you decide which news source will be use to generate the headline?

Thanks. Once the articles are clustered and sorted, it picks the first news source that reported on the tag (seems fair). The subsequent articles are picked by closeness and similarity.

is this open source? What tech stack did you use? How much time did it take to code up?

I used a mix of golang and nodejs. It took a little less than a week to go over the literature and implementation.
