Hey guys,

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

Nice, I was thinking about building something like this but was turned off by the potential legal ramifications. How is this legal? Is this within fair use of the original author of the article?

Great project, although my opinion may be a little biased.

I'm one of the founders of oko.ai and I would love to share some of the things we learned doing something similar.

Feel free to check our demo in https://app.oko.ai/ycdemo

That's interesting! What do you use to get get a clean version of the article? I tried newspaper3k, but it doesn't always give best results

We currently use Goose, a python library, it works pretty well.

The site looks great. A welcome change from Large news articles on your face. Great for skimming through the headlines when you are late for your morning classes.(my use case). If you add more general categories I will definitely use it.

Are you using one of the existing tools for summarization, or did you write your own?

I re-worked an available summarization algorithm into what I'm currently using. The previous one did not give sentence length as much weight as I would have liked.

Can you share the original algorithm used?

If you're looking for something similar, I wrote one a few years ago that should be fairly understandable:

There's a cleaner version of just the summarization code in another repo of mine:

great resource, your click-bait repo is a great tool and I would love to add it to my product (https://oko.ai).

What is the best way to contact you? I would love to know more about you and your side-projects!

I love the idea, the execution is OK though. Keep working on it please!

Where do you get the feed for all the articles in the first place?

How do you plan to make money?
