Things I felt were missing in my own HN reading experience :
- Scanning information quickly if I have limited time and don't want to spend time reading the whole articles.
- Sometimes I don't want to read the full article. I just want to understand the gist first and then decide whether it's worth going deeper.
- Adjusting to every authors writing style / navigating to there website also takes extra mental effort.
- I want to easily be able to brainstorm articles with a LLM, for example by having it explain or simplify the article for me
- Filtering on the basis of topics, Example if I am not interested in hardware articles, would like to skip them (Feature is WIP)
I also got a chance to explore new technologies while building it.
I choose svelte kit over react / next and cloudfare hosting over firebase / vercel
Right now I am improving the AI summarisation experience in places where the page is under a paywall.
I'd love feedback on where this helps and what can be improved.
