Nice - that looks useful.

Would it be possible to:

- do "horizontal" swiping gesture to go to next/previous summarized article? Kind of like instagram stories

- keep the link to original article as I scroll through the summary so I can quickly navigate to full article if the summary is interesting?

I think the concept is great, I'd love something like this even more broadly, sort of a daily "customizable" newspaper. The issue I see is that it's a bit... bland? Obviously you're doing this with AI and there's no other way to do it, but one of the main reasons why something like HN has stayed relevant for this long is its variety: front page stories often have remarkable diversity, not only in topics and content, but also in tone and writing style. I feel a digest like this one flattens everything more than I'd like.

I've been thinking about this for a while too. Probably what I will do is create embeddings of the frontpage results and then let users pick 3-5 topics that they would like to see. Then summarize the top 10 for those topics.
