04 — The ring
Twenty kilometres, thirty-nine names
Every locality inside a twenty kilometre great circle drawn from Chennai Central, grouped the way the city thinks of itself.
05 — Location
Where should it watch?
Chennai Central — the centre of the ring.
Or let the browser decide
Location is never sent anywhere — it only picks the nearest of the thirty-nine.

It tells you either way

The interval below governs an open tab. With the browser shut, the most the server sends is one briefing a day, at 06:30 IST — and only if your quiet hours have ended by then. The default below ends at 06:00, so it does.

Quiet hours cover the server too: they cover the server too, so keep the end before 06:30 IST.
The window may wrap past midnight. Both ends at the same time switches it off.
