#2Hi everyone
I am delighted to share my new project "TLDR This" with you guys.
Problem : There's so much content out there but too little time to read. So many times, it happens that there's a long article that we're interested in, but we don't really feel like scouring through it to extract relevant information from it.
Hence, I created "TLDR This" to help you navigate relevant content quickly and easily, without having to read the whole thing.
Steps to get cracking - 1. Copy and paste either the URL or the text of the article you'd like summarized. 2. Press the "Process Text" button, and you are good to go.
TLDR This also comes with a chrome extension, allowing you to summarize any webpage at the click of a button.
How to use the chrome extension? Just click the “tl;dr” button in Chrome's toolbar on a webpage which you'd like summarized and within a few seconds, you'll get the Please let me know if you have any feedback/suggestions.
Thanks a lot

Congrats! It worked well on a few sample articles that I tried. Can you provide background on how the text is summarized?

Thanks a lot.
Sure, first we create a list of all the individual sentences in the article. Then, we use the TextRank algorithm to rank each of the text sentences. Finally, we select the top 5 most representative sentences from the article.

How do you create list of sentences from the article? How do you know where article starts and what is just navigation or fluff.

#6I love it!
One important feature, to help improve accuracy, is to display 2 big buttons at the bottom, a thumbs up and a thumbs down, meaning "this TL;DR is reflective of the actual content" or "this TL;DR is not reflective of the actual content".

Some info about it would be great? Do you use an AI model? Do you do semantic analysis? Is it open source?
I tried it on a wikipedia article and it didn't work too well.

Firefox's reader's view is able to do that.
Check out their Github repo here - https://github.com/mozilla/readability
>You need at least one
tag around the text, you want to see in Reader View and at least 516 characters in 7 words inside the text.
