Hacker News Reader

Hey HN; This is a simple lightweight (2.3 KB) node module that i use to quickly extract the main topic, or an array of topics from a string or sentence.

I think someone else could find this useful for a project. Thanks for checking it out.

Looks interesting, what are some use cases for this kind of thing though? Are you using it for anything in particular?

Yeah sure, I use it in a news app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jaziir.and...) to analyze a set of headlines and determine what topics are mentioned most (trending). It works well enough, so I figured out someone might find it useful too.

Ah nice! This kind of reminds of an app Yahoo had about 4 or 5 years ago that summarized the entire article into a few paragraphs, just on a more micro scale (by design).

True, you must be talking about Summly, I prevoiusly read about it too, a great app.
