Yeah I created Gistr recently. I've just been playing with different ways to use the summarizing tech. I found this way easier than having to install the chrome extension I made and setting up an account.
Indeed, allowing users to try it through a demo product, rather than having them install a Chrome extension, makes it more accessible. This is insightful from a product marketing perspective. Thank you!
Yeah, the webpage parser (https://github.com/mozilla/readability) doesn’t work well with social media sites like Twitter/X. It can summarize up to about 37,500 words, as long as the website is parsable.
I haven’t gotten around to adding pagination for the “More” pages yet. It currently only handles the home route/front page (https://news.ycombinator.com/). The cost of summaries does add up, especially on longer articles, so I wanted to limit expenses until I can find a way to keep it running while at least breaking even.
Thanks! Yeah I have noticed accuracy problems with the seniority too. I'm using 4o-mini + structured output to extract the seniority. Currently the seniority output is defined as an array to handle edge cases where a job could technically be either mid level or senior. But, in reality the LLM is over eager at assigning multiple seniorities. It frequently gives a mid level seniority to jobs which literally have 'Senior' in the title. I'll work on it!
