Show HN: Zeli – HN reader with AI digests for non-native speakers

3 points by mazzystar 2y ago

I read Hacker News daily, but as a non-native English speaker, it often takes me a while to identify posts that interest me. So I created this tool—it uses an LLM to extract summaries and key highlights from articles, helping me quickly find the ones I want to read in depth. If you're a native English speaker, it can still be useful. Beyond just HN titles, it can give you a quick grasp of an article's main points, allowing you to decide whether to click through. Interestingly, for "Ask HN" posts, I've included a feature that selects the top 3 most insightful responses from the original thread. This lets you preview whether the comments section is worth exploring before you open the post. Happy browsing!

  Sorry but I've added a lot of features each day, and I think HN welcomes the duplicate URL with content & functioning changes.

Really cool idea! As a non-native speaker, I can see how this would save a lot of time. How well does it handle more technical posts or long discussions? The top responses feature for 'Ask HN' sounds super handy.

  Thank you! I'm really happy that you like (which is also my favorite) this feature!
