Show HN: Suffering from Infobesity? – Social Media and News Snippets

[vantubbe]

Shortsnip creates one sentence snippets from news and social media. Also recaps of topically related snippets. Helps me spend less time online without app limiting or disconnecting completely.

I built this because I wanted the meeting notes of what's happening online - right to the point so I can get off my device. Obviously no one can keep up with billions of updates everyday. News and social media becoming more fragmented only exacerbates this issue.

Please tell me what you like, don't like, find confusing, or anything else at all. Would love your feedback!

Whats with the weird AI pictures? It's especially jarring on obits, when the pictures aren't photos of the people who died.

An attempt to not be a wall of text. Absolutely agree they are bad, especially when relating to real people. I need to spend time here for sure.

Suffering from infobesity? Eat AI art instead.

Fair, needs work. Would you be more interested if you could control the style of all the images? Like realistic, illustration, cyberpunk, clip-art, etc?
