Show HN: HackYourNews.com v2 https://ift.tt/10LKutx

Show HN: HackYourNews.com v2 One year after I published https://ift.tt/mwILsXj , I've rewritten it to be fully client-side and added support for a few more news sources via RSS feeds. Though HackYourNews.com v1 had a great response on HN [1] and consistently had ~2k weekly unique visitors, I couldn't figure out how to sustain the site, and I didn't want to gate access to it. There were also many long-standing requests that I wanted to fulfill (thanks for your patience!): a proper auto-detected dark mode, mobile device support, and bulleted summaries. This rewrite is the result. The browser reads the contents of destination pages via a CORS proxy [2], distills the raw HTML down to page content, and uses the excellent Puter [3] to call gpt-4o-mini for chunked summarization and title dehyping. Overall, the rewrite is slower because the summarization is on-demand, but the value I get from the summaries has not reduced, so I think it's a win. Given the latency reductions in the last year for frontier models, this approach should scale nicely. The source is unminified and easy to read. Hope you find it useful!
