HN Reader

Show HN: Hacker News with AI-generated summaries

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.

Good to see I'm not the only who wants a cleaner newsfeed to cut through this information overload noises. Coincidentally, I also spent the last weekend building a curated, HN-based newsfeed for the busy web developers: lessnews.dev[1]

Great!

Also I use the Japanese summary conveniently. :) https://catnose.me/lab/hackernews-ja

This looks great! It had an unspecified error and did not generate a summary for "Grok3 Launch" article with over 1000 comments. Was that too much content for it to summarize?

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.

That's an interesting attempt! I think it's a good approach for prototyping using Gistr (https://www.getgistr.com/) Are you the developer of Gistr?

This is great.

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.
