hmm
I think the concept is great, I'd love something like this even more broadly, sort of a daily "customizable" newspaper. The issue I see is that it's a bit... bland? Obviously you're doing this with AI and there's no other way to do it, but one of the main reasons why something like HN has stayed relevant for this long is its variety: front page stories often have remarkable diversity, not only in topics and content, but also in tone and writing style. I feel a digest like this one flattens everything more than I'd like.
We dont do "top-posts" but we do most Game posts in case you are insterested :)
? This has been done before, plus apps like Harmonic support Best by X hrs. Do people love re-inventing the wheel before googling "drive car from A to B"?
Nice! Would be great to also get a summary of the comments.
Am I being fair when I immediately categorize anything as a summary as a data dump from an AI?
Oh yeah! I was also really confused at first haha.
Man, I miss n-gate more than ever
I can't see the page at the moment (getting the No digest yet).
I made a thing[0] that splits stories by day without mixing old popular with new stories. That helped cut down my HN visits to a few times per day. [I had originally made it to list all stories on one page and load story links at stops in a subway/metro commute.]
What I'm finding now is that there's too much noise at the top and what I really want to see are the stories not upvoted by mainstream/populist interests--if anyone knows a solution to that, please share.
