I've made a Hacker News skill for Alexa so people can get tech news while driving, cooking, or cleaning. The first version lists post titles and summarizes articles:<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CKVDXC3" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CKVDXC3</a><p>I'll have lots of time over the next few months to refine it and add things like<p><pre><code> - comment summaries
- selecting posts by topic, and eventually
- answering questions about articles
</code></pre>
What do you think of the skill? What I should add to it? What do people think about voice assistants in general?<p>To keep in touch, talk to me on Twitter or by email:<p><a href="https://twitter.com/AdrianBPatter" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/AdrianBPatter</a><p>adrian@patter.io
This is deadly. Would love if you could feed it custom sources or maybe something like RSS feeds, so I could just "Hey alexa can tell me the top three stories from my feed" or something. No clue if that's possible.<p>Good stuff!
Interesting to compare the automation vs. a manual approach started last month.<p>Show HN: Hacker Daily, a daily podcast for Hacker News readers<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16850689" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16850689</a>
