Show HN: Summaread – Millions of Articles Summarized Daily

One nitpick. I browse without JS by default and could not click on any of your links. If you're already using <a> tags, you should always fill out the href value so the links work no matter what. Use the web as it was intended.

Hey guys,

The is the first project I release publicly and I'm happy to discuss anything with you.

The summaries are not good. They will point something out like "five key points are made" without stating those five points...which would presumably have been clearly stated in the article. Did you try other APIs/services/software?

Looks great, but I was immediately turned off by the combination of infinite scroll and a footer with contact info that you can never reach.

This is really great, I was recently looking for something like this, thanks for building it! I have some layout suggestions:

- Summaries are short enough that they could be displayed by default for all articles, rather than requiring an extra click for each row. This would be a killer feature, even if optional and not enabled by default.

- The categories at the top take up too much screen space - it would be nice if it was a bit more condensed (e.g. in a single row, or even remove it and leave just the side nav).

- Using inline cards instead of full rows would make it possible to see a lot more info without having to scroll so much. The current layout (one row per news) would be better suited for mobile, though.

I'm not sure about the quality of the summaries yet, but just by removing the clickbait from news browsing you're already doing us a big favor.

This is AWESOME! Thank you! I'm a giant news junkie, while I work in IT and like/need to stay abreast of whats going on, I also used to work for an online gaming publication. Checking news sites is just wired into my everyday routine.. and it's nice to have these stories aggregated in one place so I don't have the big splashy front pages on my screen at work :) Thanks again!

There is bizarre global auto-scroll behavior when expanding a cell to show its summary. On click, I would rather just expand the cell and leave everything else alone.

Also, the following CSS (with Stylish, for example) makes it way more readable:

.main-content-section { margin-top: 0; }

.navbar { height: auto; }

.filters-menu { height: auto !important; }

.source-filter-tab { margin: 1px 6px; }

As a reading tool, it's great. I noticed that there are a few headlines with nothing in the summary.

I like the potential. I'd especially like it if this tool could banish the click bait aspect of headlines.

Can you give us a view into your general techniques and tools? I'd like to know how you created it.

Site is actually good. I think traders will find this useful. They end up clicking through multiple analyst recommendations. Instead if this shows a preview, they can make a better decision if they want to read the article.

Sorry, just a linguistic aside, whenever I see summarize I assume that I am going to see some version of NLG but it's always some version of most important sentence. I like the site though.

Nice site! Some of them don't work though. For example, the "Tim Cook Drops to #53 on Glassdoors List of Highest Rated CEOs" one just displays empty bullet points.

I'd love to know how you summarized articles. Are you using a specific strategy to summarize for each websites or is it more generic ?

Nice news aggregator! The sentence selection looks like it works really well for these stories. How are you doing your scraping?

Great summary !
