Yeah I created Gistr recently. I've just been playing with different ways to use the summarizing tech. I found this way easier than having to install the chrome extension I made and setting up an account.

Hey, thanks for checking it out!

Yeah, the webpage parser (https://github.com/mozilla/readability) doesn’t work well with social media sites like Twitter/X. It can summarize up to about 37,500 words, as long as the website is parsable.

I haven’t gotten around to adding pagination for the “More” pages yet. It currently only handles the home route/front page (https://news.ycombinator.com/). The cost of summaries does add up, especially on longer articles, so I wanted to limit expenses until I can find a way to keep it running while at least breaking even.

I really enjoy the simple, elegant design and look of this site. Well done!

I did notice that the mid-level jobs are returning mainly senior roles though.

I built an app called Gistr that captures the gist of web articles. The problem originated when I found myself with so little time to read all the HN articles I was interested in each day. This is my current solution that I use every day.Using the Chrome extension or web app, a user can upload the URL of the web article and receive a concise summary of that article with tags and estimated...
