Show HN: Tl;dr HN – Summaries of the top HN posts and comments (powered by AI)

1 points by colfax23 3 months ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

I love Hacker News but I rarely have time to read full articles / comments, so I built a simple site to summarize the top posts & comments to make it easier to get a big picture.

A few implementation details: - It pulls the top stories from the HN Firebase API (`/v0/topstories`) - Filters stories with >200 points - Uses Claude Sonnet for post + comment summaries - Tries to capture the sentiment of the comments (still working on improving this) - Refreshes both posts + summaries hourly

It has already helped me I hope it helps you! Please let me know if you have any feedback -- still actively iterating on it.
