- MichaelApproved 14y agoThanks! I didn't know about that site before and it looks like they have many contributors. I considered doing a bookmarklet like they do but I figured that I would need a critical number of people before it could be realistic to use. In the meantime, I created a list[1] of popular stories from Reddit news sources. Each story links to a special hybrid page that allows you to write a summary on top while you read the story below.

- mtrimpe 14y agoI read the tldr.io of this TL;DR service first.
- MichaelApproved 14y agoDo you mean that you tried the tl;dr bookmarket on Skim That? I just added a summary for Skim That using the bookmarket so you should see it now. I really like how it uses line by line bullet point fields to help write the summary. I experimented with something like that in the past. It kind of works but it isn't as smooth a read as a paragraph of text but it does make the writing process easier.
- mtrimpe 14y agoYou confused me there, but I see now that it was actually me who confused you as I meant to reply to czzarr instead... It seems that I helped inspire you nonetheless, which is great of course! As for what makes tldr.io great; it's mostly the Chrome plugin which adds TL;DR icons next to the links on Hacker News. They still need to work on enticing more users to contribute back though.
- billirvine 14y agoWhen did Hacker News become "Spam my Stuff" news? Isn't it possible to discuss the merits of the product provided in the opening post without one-line nonsense posts spamming your own thing? JEEZUZ.
