TodayHot desktop widget
Choose one supported source and keep its latest hot list visible in Kepo.
Hot lists are useful, but checking many sites one by one quickly becomes noisy.
You may only want one source at a time: V2EX, Zhihu, Weibo, Hacker News, Product Hunt, GitHub, Bilibili, or another supported list.
TodayHot gives that source a small desktop surface so you can scan headlines before opening the original item.
The best hot-list widget does not try to merge every source. It helps you watch one source clearly.

Who needs a hot topics widget
Product people can watch Product Hunt or GitHub. Developers can scan Hacker News or V2EX. Operators can follow finance, tech, or local news sources.
It is useful when you want broad awareness without building a morning tab-opening ritual.
One selected source per widget
TodayHot asks you to choose one supported source. The widget then shows the latest hot items for that source.
This keeps the widget focused and avoids turning the desktop into another mixed news feed.
Open originals for full context
TodayHot is for quick reading. Full articles, comments, and source-specific context still belong on the original website.
If an upstream source is unavailable, the widget may refresh later or show an error.
