TL;DR paste an article URL in <a href="https://letmesummarizethatforyou.com/" rel="nofollow">https://letmesummarizethatforyou.com/</a> and get a brief summary in a shareable link.<p>Hey HN,
Machine generated summaries have become pretty good, and I still often find myself staring at a long article I'm interested in but don't have enough time/energy at the moment to read it.<p>Copy pasting to Gemini/ChatGPT and asking it to summarize works, but I sometimes find it a little tedious.<p>I had a 6 hour flight and I used it to put together this simple web app, all it does is fetch the URL, extract the text (if it's an HTML/PDF), ask an LLM to summarize it nicely, and produce a shareable link with the summary.<p>I actually found myself using this quite a bit to get summaries for HN posts, for example here's the summary for the "Reverse engineering Ticketmaster's rotating barcodes" [1] article that was posted recently: <a href="https://letmesummarizethatforyou.com/url/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconduition.io%2Fcoding%2Fticketmaster%2F" rel="nofollow">https://letmesummarizethatforyou.com/url/?url=https%3A%2F%2F...</a><p>[1] original HN post - <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40906148">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40906148</a>
