I personally don't want algorithmically summarized content, I want manually summarized content by knowledgeable HN users. It's half the reason I click into the comments 99% of the time before clicking into the linked article. I want interesting insight along with a good summary of what the main points were being communicated. There's just no way automatically generated summaries can compete with that.
- dreeves 15y agoI'd love to see the best of both worlds. I too love it when someone takes the time to summarize an article -- great community service. I'd love to establish a convention for doing so (I vote for prepending "Summary:" -- I find "tl;dr" irksome). Then HNsummaries.com could fetch those when available instead of or in addition to the auto-summaries.
- marknutter 15y agoFunny, I created exactly that few years ago, got some traction and a story on readwriteweb.com, and then let the app stagnate and die. Maybe I should pursue it again :)
- scoot 15y agoHow about the top comment for each article included in the email?
- czzarr 15y agowe are developing a service for that, stay tuned
