The extension that solves information overload

Information overload is prevalent. Too many tweets, too many newsletters, never ending reading lists.

People write pages to say what could be said in paragraphs... Paragraphs to say what could be said in sentences.

This browser extension fixes it. "The Gist of It" uses ChatGPT to provide instant, intelligent summaries of any selected text.

It's most definitely a "wrapper", but it provides a nice micro-optimization of something we have to do daily: skim long-form content to figure out if we want to read it more attentively.

You can add it to your browser (and see a demo) here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/the-gist-of-it/okgj...

And you can see the code here: https://github.com/mauricedesaxe/the-gist-of-it

I know this is self-promotion, but the app is free and will stay free. It's just me giving a small nugget of value to the world.

I hope you try it, enjoy it and (why not?) make an open-source contribution to it if you think it could be better.
