Show HN: Hacker News with AI-generated summaries(hn-summaries.vercel.app) I built this clone of Hacker News to get a quick summary of articles before deciding to read them. Summaries are cached in localStorage. Not useful for links to social media sites. |
Also, it looks like the "more" button at the bottom does not work. It takes me to another page that just looks like the regular user interface, without any Summarize button for each article.
Yeah, the webpage parser (https://github.com/mozilla/readability) doesn’t work well with social media sites like Twitter/X. It can summarize up to about 37,500 words, as long as the website is parsable.
I haven’t gotten around to adding pagination for the “More” pages yet. It currently only handles the home route/front page (https://news.ycombinator.com/). The cost of summaries does add up, especially on longer articles, so I wanted to limit expenses until I can find a way to keep it running while at least breaking even.
Also I use the Japanese summary conveniently. :) https://catnose.me/lab/hackernews-ja
For summaries my preference-where I have the option to set it-is for a bullet pointed list over a condensed paragraph. Easier to scan and typically does better at conveying the flow of the source too.
