Hey there HN! I wanted to share a pet project of mine. I built HackYourNews [1] to scratch a personal itch: Knowing which stories to focus on while browsing aimlessly (though there is a certain joy in that, as well!) HackYourNews uses OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo to summarize the destination article as well as the comments section. Summarization of the article is always cached, while summaries of the comments are regenerated if the comments count is >10% (or >10 comments) different. While I styled the homepage to welcome HNers, my preferred view is the Mobile view, accessed from the navbar. This…

RSS Brain▲139I wrote an RSS reader called RSS Brain recently. The motivate is the current RSS readers either don't sort articles by priority, which makes it hard to read posts from HackerNews and Reddit, or sort it with some "smart" algorithm which I don't trust. I also like the Google News feature that can show related story from different source, but the sources are not configurable and the algorithm is not transparent either. So with RSS Brain, I implemented these features: * Recommend related articles from the feeds of your choice. It's backed by ElasticSearch and the algorithm is described on RSS…

PoweReader▲10Hey HN, I’ve always believed that RSS is one of the best ways to gather a lot of quality information, but it does come with its challenges. Managing the volume and diversity of updates from various sources can be tough, and finding relevant content across all feeds can be a hit-or-miss experience. That’s why I built PoweReader, an app that leverages AI to summarize RSS content. With AI summaries, you can quickly catch up on important updates, filter through vast amounts of information, and focus on what truly matters to you. Additionally, as a non-native English speaker, I need to read a lot…

Partially inspired by recent discussions on HN and other places. I've made a single-focus site to introduce your friends/colleagues/neighbours/family to RSS and web feeds. https://www.youneedfeeds.com/ The site is meant to give the elevator pitch for feeds, show a newbie what feeds are and how to use them, set them up with a reader, and give them some nice starter content if they want it. So much tastemaking and newsmaking power is concentrated in the hands of Facebook/Reddit/Twitter, but I'm convinced it's because much of the general populace doesn't…

Yoptio▲9About a year ago, I built an RSS reader than had some features I couldn't find elsewhere at the time (specifically topic/keyword muting). I recently added the ability to listen to a daily podcast, generated from an individuals personal RSS feeds. While I think the idea is cool, I am curious if others would listen to a podcast they know is AI generated, on a more permanent basis? Would anyone subscribe to a personal AI podcast within their regular podcast client? AI content within social media seems poorly received (passive consumption), but NotebookLM was praised (perhaps because it is…

Gistr▲55Hey HN, We (a small team of engineers and a designer) have been building Gistr to solve a personal pain point: we consume a lot of content daily—articles, videos, podcasts—and often struggle to retain or revisit the most meaningful parts. Most bookmarking tools felt too passive or generic. So we made Gistr a tool that lets you save links and capture "gists" (notes, insights, highlights, AI summaries) on top of them. It supports YouTube, articles, PDFs, and more. You can keep things private or share your gists publicly, almost like AI-enhanced social bookmarks. We’re bootstrapped and still in…

Hey HN, I've built a little website to show news articles with a summary so that I don't have to RTFA if I just want a rough sense of what it covers :) I also share the summaries in an RSS feed for those who'd prefer to use their own reader. Let me know what you think!

This is a web-based reading app I've been working on since August. The main differentiator is that Yakread uses machine learning to rank the articles in your feed: as you click on articles from a particular RSS/newsletter subscription, other articles from that subscription will tend to be ranked higher in the future (via a bandit algorithm). Yakread also uses ML to recommend articles that other users have read, so your feed will have articles in it even before you sign up and add your own subscriptions. For the recommendations, I'm using the collaborative filtering implementation from…
