auto-generated? if so, that's pretty impressive. [edit] huh, so that's TextTeaser? https://www.mashape.com/mojojolo/textteaser#!documentation - i had no idea that summaries of that quality were now commodity apis.

Most useful and relevant new summary I've never read. Sold.

Nice. I kind of like "news that matters" better than "news that matter," though.

This is great. I'm trying to make http://thetechblock.com a destination for tech articles and news that matter. Would love any feedback.

Awesome but did you need to blatantly rip the Medium design?

I like the simplicity, but how can it deliver it every morning without asking for your time zone? The confirmation says it'll deliver at 9am. UTC?

Very cool!

Minor nitpick, though: "news" is most commonly singular, so your tagline should probably read "news that matters."

Awesome!

Hi guys, I'm the creator of TextTeaser API that was used by Bit of News. :) I first thought that bitofnews is just a bot in Reddit. I'm really surprised that this is now a full blown website/app.

Thanks for Bit of News for using the TextTeaser API.
