   Hi, these are really great ideas, thank you. We've thought about it more in terms of volume of consumption for now but are going to look into the users' patterns to see what fits them best. We also thought about paid mobile apps, or plugins

   Our goal is to help people find and select what they really want to spend time reading. We feel that a summary is the perfect step between a title and the actual content and that it actually incentivizes people to read the whole thing once

   right, this is definitely something we have in mind. Why not require login though? Sounds like it would be tough to control without.

   Hi, this is a great idea and we're definitely going to give it some serious thought. If you have some experience with these kind of things, would you be interested in talking about it a little on Skype or by mail?

    well we could talk about it! No particular reason, we're not developers/designers by trade, we have a generalist engineering background and we wanted to do a startup so we just went with what was buzzing at the time and learned everything f

    hehe glad we could make you smile! We put a lot of work into it. We thought it would be hard to convince people to install it otherwise as it is sort of a technical abstract conceptual thing for now so we added humor :)

    For now, you have to trust us ;) But yeah we obviously have things (votes, endorsements, verified badges and the likes) planned to ensure the tl;drs reflect the underlying article accurately. It is a first world problem for now though.

    I don't know what wiki-style voting is but I'll look it up. Thanks for the feedback!

    Hi, thanks a lot for the feedback! we're glad that we're solving a problem for you! You're right that we have little content for now, but we don't think NLP is the answer. Humans are so much better than algorithms at summarizing content and

    thanks for the feedback, this is one of the reason (on top of cross-browser compatibility) for which we chose to create a bookmarklet first

    Hi, thanks for the feedback we're glad you like it! To answer your questions: - all tldrs are editable by users, so that the content can be refined by the community. - we feel that tl;drs should convey the message and tone of the author of

    Hi, this is strange as we followed the html5 boilerplate way of detecting IE. We will look into the matter, thanks for the feedback. As a sidenote, our site isn't optimized for mobile (to put it mildly) so I recommend trying it on a compute

    Thanks! 3rd cofounder here. This is something we are indeed working on, but we put off the launch for too long already and really wanted to get feedback. You're right though that discoverability isn't great as it is. Try it on most links h

    Wtf HN? How in the hell does this article make the frontpage when it's written (albeit with good intentions) by a complete poker newbie and the points he make are incredibly shallow? There are so many much better blogposts about online poke

    thank god my math teacher didn't teach like that. This is the most confusing explanation of factoring I have ever seen. for the apparently numerous people here who have no idea how to solve this equation generically, read this: http://en.w

    I'm in the opposite boat: i stuck with Janus and actually dug in the source and played with it to understand exactly what was there. Janus is incredibly awesome and easy to extend, I'd highly recommend you gave it another chance and really
