Re:Show HN: Summary Brew – Summaries for Top 300 HN Stories ... by kevinios on Wednesday March 07, 2018 @05:06AM (#16535384)
Great job! Thank you.

Quick suggestion: could you show the summaries directly on your first page, without the user needing to clicks links? (Otherwise, we are back to part of the original problem: need to open many tabs to read each story's summary, or do a lot of back and forth between front-page and post's summary).

In case there would be too much text when doing this, another way to solve this would be to unroll the summary dynamically when user clicks "summary" (instead of opening a new page). Hope this is useful!

Hmm I did have for a moment this page as the home page - https://summarybrew.com/summaries/top, but wasnt sure if people will like having that as the home page.

I should do a survey about which page should be in the front, well to ask any HN readers who now check out the site, could you let me know that is the current home page the way to go or is this one https://summarybrew.com/summaries/top

Also your idea of unrolling the entire summary text on clicking something like "summary" is awesome, didnt think of that.

Thank you kindly for your words of support and your suggestions.

I'd like to see the full summary and with column (Pinterest-like), with height limiting.
