On another note, I also made something similar but for cybersecurity news. It’s called Notify-Cyber, you can check it out here: https://notifycyber.com/
This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing!
Could you add RSS to it?
Exactly my thought - I consume everything through fulltext RSS, but for HN I only get the title and links to the article and comments (through hnrss) - having summaries would be a great improvement! A great alternative would also be if there was some kind of an API to access the summaries
Hey mate, is it alright if I post the TamperMonkey script I wrote to fetch summaries from your site on the news.ycombinator.com/news?
Nice!

I also wish there was some collection of links presented by users under the post. But anyway the initiative is wonderful.

Thanks for checking it out. Does the "dehyped title" under the metadata line seem like what you're looking for?
Yes, nice! I didn't notice it before, my eyes jumped directly to summary/comments. No knock on the styling--it's great--I'm just reading in low light. In most cases the dehyped is as good or better. The worst post titles are short ones that assume familiarity with the content. One thing that could make the comment summary better is if the prompt could be along the lines of "what do the comments add to the article" to…
That's great! It would be even more great to have a value on comments controversy level, sentiment, pos/neg, etc.
Funny that in today's Hacker Newsletter [0], they exclude this thread from their Show HN section. Even though it has way more points than other stories. I think you're onto something. Congrats. 0 - https://hackernewsletter.com/
