Hello, it's the face behind the bot :). As some of you have guessed, I wrote an automatic summarizer to provide a little more context to hn articles because I often find myself wanting to know a little more before clicking the link. It makes sense that the HN community would want to push for reading the full article and against tldr culture. This was just a fun little side project I built yesterday, and I’ll be thinking about that and any other feedback I receive before making improvements. Thanks for your comments!

  Perhaps it should be a browser extension, called HN Executive Summary. How does it summarise? Some kinda AI?

    Good idea! And Yup-- right now I'm using a library that just picks out sentences that are likely meaningful.
