Hacker News Reader

Just a personal project - I got a deep interest in the CIA's Stargate program and the declassified documents in the "reading room." I wrote a script to scrape all of the readable or OCRd text from the documents, and fed them into GPT-3.5 to get a summary. It definitely makes reading through the documents easier.

I have all of the docs with summaries on a small webserver here: https://ayylmao.info

Simple Flask site with SQLite as the database.

Feel like this needs way more discoverabilty. Otherwise what’s the point? My ideas:

Better URL Some CSS More ways into the content Most importantly — put the whole thing on GitHub (most important are the summaries and index). The SQLite file will be too big but you could easily have 10, 100k small summary files.

With a proper readme and these changes (and more of course) you might create a resource that far outlives you and helps researchers long into the future.
