Certainly for professional media outlets and therefore true of the mass market most summarizers are trying to hit. But just take most of the best stuff that reaches HN.. Personal blogs, GitHub repos, documentation. Really hard but potentially rewarding stuff to summarize. I currently do this by hand in the email newsletter space but am certainly interested in any advancements that'll save me time one day :-)
- samsnelling 14y agoPeter, So funny that you mentioned github docs, as I am working on something custom for that (my sentence parsing works really bad with code... who would've thought!). You are exactly right on the potential of things that can be summarized. Currently Summary.io only shows sites with images, but the summaries are still being generated! Appreciate the comment. If you have any other ideas on what I could summarize let me know!
