It would be great if you could offer a parameter in your URL so I could make a get request like https://tldr.hackeryogi.com/?url=somearticleurl.com I would embed that in https://uptopnews.com/

Hi, Sure, I will create an API endpoint that will allow you to do that as soon as possible. Thanks

Hi, - Yes, you are totally right. TextRank is an extractive method. - Ah right. But we aren't storing any information on our servers, just showing selected sentences to the user. - We select the top 5 sentences which have the highest relevancy to the article. I am not an expert in this field so not too sure if that's the best way. Just started with NLP a few days back and wanted to test it out by developing a small a…

If this is in reference to the copyright comment, it doesn't matter -- you're still transmitting/redistributing the content, which is what matters. One way to get around this is to ship the code and have the code execute on the user's machine (i.e. what you're presumably doing with the extension).

Ah right, thank you for the detailed explanation. Currently, we are processing the text using a Python backend. In order to process it on the user's side, I guess we'll have to use Javascript. I will try to fix that in the next version. Thank you very much.

yup, switching to js would fix this issue.

When I use it on our landingpage it simply extracts one sentence from the page:

Use state-of-the-art pseudonymization and anonymization methods to secure your data in real-time.

I think it's a good summary of what we do, but I wouldn't call this summarization as I would think that implies synthesizing new content from the existing one, it's more a highlighting service I'd say. For other pages it doesnt' works so well, so maybe I just got lucky.

That's such a ridiculous consequence of our field/times.

Edit: How about the backend just returns pointers to the text (word #x till word #y) and the js just (re)assembles it?
