Show HN: Hacker News Summarizer (Chrome Extension)

5 pointsby _pcpeabout 2 years ago
Hello Hacker News community,<p>We are excited to announce the release of our new Chrome extension, called &quot;Hacker News Summarizer.&quot; The extension utilizes the OpenAI API to provide concise summaries of articles posted on Hacker News, enabling you to understand the main points without having to read the entire article. You don&#x27;t need to log in or confirm your identity to use it either! Just install the extension and click on the &quot;summary&quot; link next to &quot;comments&quot; when you want to read an article.<p>Please note that not all articles are currently supported or summarized, but we are working to add support for them in the future. Additionally, we want to clarify that this extension is not affiliated with OpenAI or Hacker News.<p>You can find the Chrome extension at this link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;hacker-news-summarizer&#x2F;ajodkpllepafdcjcgklhnamlnninjbmd" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;hacker-news-summar...</a><p>We invite you to try out the extension and share your thoughts with us in the comments section below!<p>Best regards,<p>The Hacker News Summarizer team

great idea - I was thinking of building something for myself on the desktop level, but might as well just slap this onto the ol&#x27; Chrome Browser!
