Yes please.
I’ve been toying with the idea of making a browser extension that summarizes pages into ~5 bullets, <20 words each. And maybe a picture.
Someone please make this.
Too lazy to read walls of text. Too lazy to build the extension myself.

- Waterluvian 4y agoThis already exists on Reddit as a bot that says “the best I did was reducing this article by 87%, here it is…” I imagine you just need to wrap that in a browser plug-in. Or maybe already exists.
- lma21 4y agoThis is done by autotldr[1] which is powered by smmry[2]. Smmry is pretty neat actually ! [1] http://autotldr.io/ http://autotldr.io/ [2] https://smmry.com/ https://smmry.com/
- return_to_monke 4y agoSadly it seems to fail bad on things that aren't new articles. Try for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming/ as an input to smmry - you don't get the idea
- criley2 4y agoI mean, it works ok. I think the issue here is structured documents like that wikipedia article. If you used smmry on each section, leaving the headers and structure alone, you'd probably get a far more 'coherent' result, and it's not surprising that the tool is built for "single block" content. It would probably not be very hard to build a mediawiki smmrly extension that does just that.
