Show HN: Tl;dr HN – Summaries of the top HN posts and comments (powered by AI)
I love Hacker News but I rarely have time to read full articles / comments, so I built a simple site to summarize the top posts & comments to make it easier to get a big picture.
A few implementation details:
- It pulls the top stories from the HN Firebase API (`/v0/topstories`)
- Filters stories with >200 points
- Uses Claude Sonnet for post + comment summaries
- Tries to capture the sentiment of the comments (still working on improving this)
- Refreshes both posts + summaries hourly
It has already helped me I hope it helps you! Please let me know if you have any feedback -- still actively iterating on it.
