What gets scraped

Feed pages (category or tag listing on techcrunch.com):

• Post title
• Article URL

Thumbnails exist on the site; the TUI only shows titles.

Article pages (when you press Enter):

• Title
• Author
• Published time
• Body text (.entry-content / WordPress blocks; script, style, aside, and figure nodes removed so images don’t appear in the body)
• Tags (rel="tag" links)

Feeds wired in the app

Categories	Tags
Startups, Venture, Enterprise, Apps, Security, AI, Fintech, Hardware, Transportation, Media & Entertainment, Biotech & Health, Space, Climate, Government & Policy	Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft

The package also includes a small search helper (techcrunch/search.py) that hits techcrunch.com/?s=… and parses result cards (title, link, excerpt, author, date, category)—not used by the TUI today.
