Maybe I'm missing something, but should the "discuss on HN" hyperlink on your page goto the Show HN entry being referenced?

It seems to go to a HN post that is something else entirely??

You're right — I totally missed that. Fixed it, please reload.

Yep I can confirm the bug is fixed.

Nice UI btw, plus good use of AI for scoring/summarization.

I wrote something kinda similar that scrapes HN (using Firebase) for particular keywords I'm interested in. It gathers all hyperlinks mentioned in comments and uses NLTK to summarize. Kind of a curated HN reading list.

I'm currently working on using an LLM for the summaries.

Your project has given me a few ideas for mine. Thanks!

Glad to hear it. Your NLTK approach sounds interesting — would love to hear more about it. BTW, I’m planning to improve my project’s documentation. Funny enough, under “consideration” it flagged itself: "Documentation quality is not explicitly high. The effectiveness of the LLM’s scoring criteria is subjective and not deeply explained." Sadly, that’s true.
