Hacker News Summary Service (HNSS)
I'm Sid Sijbrandij and I love reading Hacker News. I almost always
read the comment section and when there is a summary of the article
in there that is frequently helpful. But most articles don't have a
summary so I want to hire someone to create more summaries. I hope
that this will make Hacker News more enjoyable and efficient to use
for its readers. Many times it takes a while to figure out what the
article is about, a summary would allow people a quick way to see
if they are interested in investing that time. There are potential
downsides: 1. People only read the summary and not the full
article. 2. The summary might not be clear or correct. 3. People
who already read the article don't want to see the summary. With a
one month experiment we should have a better idea if HNSS is worth
it. If it is here to stay we can also see if the summary can
become an official part of HN. The writer of the summaries should:
1. Be able to do this for a month 2. Have at least 20 comments on
Hacker News 3. Be able to invoice me as a contractor Apply via
