Building an HN reader feels like the Hello World for hackers. Still waiting for HN in BF running in the Doom HUD.by beemboy

Pretty much. That is why this was a tiny personal project I did. The key for me is to be a le to track article and comments on HN for myself. I found it useful and that's why I decided to open source and make it available for everyone else.by coolwulf

OK, why not RSS reader?by Beijinger

Because I can customize a lot of functions related to Hacker News which usual RSS reader cannotby coolwulf

Yes, this is obvious. But why don't you offer YOUR script not for a general RSS feed?by Beijinger

Every forum system tries to replicate the user-empowering features of Usenet with slrn, and usually falls short.by dsr_

Well I'm implementing a LLM based auto summary for each article and other features which focus on usability / readability / tracking for HN users. And this is more specialized and cannot be achieved by other tools.by coolwulf

Hrm. You should pivot to making an Electric Monk."The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe."
- Douglas Adams.

Perhaps you could teach the LLM to perform the task of enjoying the articles for you too?by flave
