Those summaries were quite fantastic. I agree that perhaps it is unnecessary to use them for the selected entries, but feel like they must be useful somewhere else.

Perhaps it would make the most sense to have an rss reader or similar with the summarizer built-in. Or a page with links to medium articles (plus others) with summaries.

Hi, I built Readborg (http://readborg.com/) to showcase what the algorithm (TextTeaser) can do. It is a news reader for Philippine news.
I searched for TextTeaser and only found a boilerplate login site and some unrelated results. Have you or do you plan on posting the code anywhere? The results look very good, and though I'm sure you can think of some great uses for it (incl. ways to monetize it) it would be fantastic to have a good summarizer for personal notes and the like. I suppose if Readborg was a full-blown RSS reader (it doesn't appear to be) you could pump all your writing through an RSS feed but that's a sticky way of doing things.

Edit: Saw the comment below asking if we could see your thesis, which I would be very interested in especially if you don't plan on sharing all of your code.
