Sometimes I run across an article with an interesting title and I keep seeing people recommending it, but it's just too long and it can't keep my attention. This is an example.
I'd like to go to a site where there's two lines summary of the article so I can judge if it's actually worth a read. The site would have an API consumed through a browser plugin that takes the URL and gets the summary.
It's tempting to add more functionality like seeing if my friends liked/retweeted the same article, or add "Read Later" ability but I don't like that. Let's keep it focused.
Summaries would be created by the community and can be voted up and down like Reddit. Users can follow summaries from other users.
I think this idea can be implemented on top of Reddit, if a sub-reddit is created with some rules. Then, a browser addin is built on that API.

How does it sum up the article/post?

mtayseer commented 9 years ago

They claim so. I found this Python library as well https://github.com/miso-belica/sumy
