Hacker News Summarizer ✨

Inspiration

I love spending time on hacker news, but often feel overwhelmed by the number of posts which I have to go through! ChatGPT and the likes are great, but there is a disconnect between moving from the text to summary in a different window.

What it does

Hacker news summarizer allows your to summarize top comments on the same page using Gemini Nano on device model

How we built it

Thanks to Google Chrome summarization API, information from the page can be passed to the local model for summarization

Challenges we ran into

• Quality of summarization and presentation of information is still a challenge
• Individual site model summarization still requires bit of DOM manipulation and cannot be carried over to other sites ## Accomplishments that we're proud of Shipping a local extension, simple to deploy, easy to use. Crisp and to the point, get the top comments and get summary of the discussions ## What we learned Power of locals models and embedding them wherever we can to help end users ease the pain of information consumption in today's time ## What's next for Hacker News Summarizer ✨
• Skip comments which are too small or without major nesting
• Scroll through top comments summaries easily
• Summarize hidden comments not yet loaded
• Escape the side bar and move to conext menu
• Chat with accumulated context
