This is perfect for me. I want to stay updated on the same kind of
information that is shared here, but i don't care about cred points
and find the social networking aspect of hn to be a codified toxic
echo chamber.
Thus i love the contrarian take.
I also love that you can switch the default analysis from the story
to the comments.
I think this is a good use of ai. Using ai a a creative crutch is
dehumanizing like all division of labor as Adam Smith described in
his magnum opus was a major problem with capitalism. As we see.
However, as it is wise enough to browse the covers of magazines, but
skip the detail inside, so too it's it sufficient and better for the
mind, body, and soul to merely browse what happened than the
radioactive details from the brainwashed miscreants inside.

What social networking aspect? The karma point is basically hidden
from other posters.

Look at the green blue and red bars on the what happened
summaries. Almost everyone here agrees with each other (mostly
green) even on the most controversial issues, which what happened
let's you sort by.
I can't wait for what happened IN THE WORLD!!!
that green bar is not a coincidence in a codified echo chamber.
Almost no one is allowed to disagree with the consensus here and
then only in a particular way. Some dissent is outright banned.
Like for example, try suggesting any of the following ideas:
Trump is misunderstood, feminism is bad for women, mrna shots
aren't vaccines, vc increases pain, suffering and failure, etc.
No discussion like that, among countless other ideas will get
your account immediately shadow banned.
So it appears that there's consensus about what "truth" is, as
proven now by what happened's green and red bars, but in reality
contrarians are forced to lurk.
And what I just said only touches the surface of the many
significant issues with this community.
Go deeper and you find some sinister tactics being used to
control the narrative.
Good luck seeing this post. I know it was a waste of time to
write it.

If you look at the site in question closer, it states that the
"green, blue, and red bars" mean "constructive, technical, and
flame war".
If I had to guess, you likely have some heavy premises that
blind you from engaging with the content of a post. I'm not
going to pretend there isn't some truth in your premises,
however I would imagine there would be "many significant issues
with [any] community" if we all operated this carelessly.

Looks great
Two things:
- I second the whole vertical space thing of MrCoffee
- I feel like clicking on the title should either take you to the
post (I know there is a link but it feels un-intuitive).
Gg otherwise!

How is this determining a comment is "Highly Upvoted" on HN where that
is explicitly kept out of the ui/ux and new comments are a/b tested
across users etc... it's not a thing you can know. I have had comments
with a big number of descendents but very low upvotes so thats not a
reliable indicator either. Genuinely curious.

Very nice indeed. I recently went through a similar process and built
an RSS feed summarizer, but didnât bother with comments becauseâ¦
well⦠it could go either way in terms of productivity and token usage
(I prefer to grab the original article and summarize it when feasible).
But I really like the output.

Israel used Palantir technologies in pagerâ¦
â Contrarian View(highly upvoted)
Many argued the attack was a highly targeted, lawful military operation
against Hezbollah's command, achieving military goals with remarkably
low civilian harm compared to conventional warfare.â
What a sad world we live in. This site really is a cesspool of
American fascism, and the community is not doing enough to take a
stance against that
ugh123 wrote 5 hours 56 min ago:
I really like this. Although I see a lot of posts leading with
"Non-technical post" which seems misapplied in a lot of cases and
otherwise too much of a generalization for a technical audience to
glean anything useful from.
Tempest1981 wrote 7 hours 16 min ago:
Very nice. Most posts are classified as "Non-technical post" these
days.
Was hoping for a way to filter on "technical", for when I need my dose
of hacking and technology. (Filter on category could also help, but I
assume there are many technical categories.)
And maybe reverse sort, for when I'm tired of controversy.

Any chance this can go open source? I'd love to contribute and self

At a glance though it's not obvious if theres something being sold.
Its a hobby project? What is there to gain by gaming hn for this? Odd

jcoughenour wrote 9 hours 23 min ago:
The timestamp under each title seems to be the timestamp of when it was
summarized and not when it was actually posted on HN. As a reader, I
would prefer to see when it was posted. You already have a "updated x
hours ago" at the top of the page so there is no reason to just repeat
that updated timestamp on all the cards.

Really nice experience on mobile. I didn't think I'd like the
"contrarian take" section, but it's actually useful to see what the
main counterpoint is on a post, and how seriously others are taking it
fhutrr567 wrote 8 hours 57 min ago:
You like it, because that's pretty much the only way to get the
contrarian take.
As I said below, hn bans contrarians to curate consensus in the
interest of harmony above reality, openness or the achievement of
human potential.

Nice. Itâd be cool if you could tap on the subject tags to filter for
the latest posts with that tag.
MrCoffee7 wrote 2 days ago:
It seems like each article takes a lot of vertical space. What if you
changed the UI so you just displayed a title for each article with a
little icon next to it like a downward arrow that you could click on if
you wanted to see more of that article? That way, you could display
more titles on one screen so that the user could more quickly scroll to
the articles they actually wanted to see?

The arrows in the circles floating fixed at the bottom expand and
