I tried summarizing the following URL, and the output it returned was just the first sentence:

Sorry that Points was unable to summarize your page. It can summarize most web pages but occasionally is unable to adequately summarize a given page. I will check this link out and try to adjust the algorithm to be more accommodating.

Hi everyone,

I am a high school sophomore and I created Points to summarize online reading assignments. It's available currently as a web app and an iOS app is almost ready for launch.

I'd love to answer any questions you may have and would appreciate any feedback!

does a good job here (http://blog.samaltman.com/the-days-are-long-but-the-decades-...) but would like to see more than 3 points. on other pages, it tries to make each point very long after stripping formatting, which makes it just as difficult to read

Thanks for the feedback! I am going to introduce an option to change the maximum number of points soon.

Nice. You should call it tldr

Haha thanks
