Breaking-news ticker for Hermes Desktop: a scrolling RSS/Atom/JSON-Feed strip above the statusbar with per-source favicons, feed search + discovery, grouping modes, offline cache, and in-app reading. Zero API keys, zero model tokens.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install hermes-newswire
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-newswire
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
