I'm excited to share a side project I've been working on: an app that automatically summarizes recent popular stories from Hacker News using the power of OpenAI and Upstash Redis/Qstash.
Are you ever too lazy to read through an entire story, but still want to grasp the main points? That's where my summarizer comes in. It extracts the heart of the story without losing context, providing you with quick insights into the latest and most discussed topics on Hacker News.
Key Features:
Utilizes OpenAI for intelligent and context-aware summarization.
Scheduled updates every 6 hours to fetch the best articles.
Uses Upstash Redis/Qstash for data storage and queue.
Looks solid, but you need to provide more stories and compress the data visually -- it is taking up a lot of space. Think how compressed the front page of HN is.
There's a lot of summary tools, I feel what is lacking is exegesis. Most texts are too shallow as they are, and condensing them down makes them lose even more nuance. Software that could draw out hidden themes and understated points in a body of work would be incredibly useful.
I think that's what makes summaries so difficult for skimming news, like on HN.
For most professional use-cases, you kinda know what types of stuff you expect in a summary so you could possibly create templates. For example, internal calls are mostly around deliverables, due dates, blockers, etc. When casually reading, you don't know what you'll come across so getting a summary that really "hits" is difficult.
Hello, I also follow Hacker News in order not to stay away from the sector, but recently I couldn't read it as much as I used to because of my increasing workload and laziness. That's why I made a Telegram bot that analyzes the top topics in Hacker News with GPT-4 and summarizes them in Turkish.

For a "Summarizer", the UI could be improved. Let it be flowing in a scrollable way that it is a single column. The content (summarized) blocks also need to be more compact.
