Show HN: TLDR (short) news website with my own algorithm I'm actively working on a news shortening website. Trying to save you from clickbaits, save your time and save you from reading Bible-sized articles What I hate the most when reading news is reading Bible-size articles just to find the main point of the article. Usually journalists write a bunch of unnecessary information just to create 400+ long articles and position better on Google. Worst of all are those clickbait titles or titles that tell you a portion of information just to make you intrigue and make you click on the article. For me personally, it is very annoying and frustrating. I like to spend like 30 seconds tops on an article, I want to get the information as fast as possible and move on. So with my [ExcerptDaily]( https://ift.tt/vc8oENU ) I'm trying to: * Save people's time * Inform you as fast as possible * Give you the main point of an article in 5 sentences * Save you from clickbait or half clickbait titles I wrote my own algorithm and tried a few of them, now I'm focusing on my own algorithm and making it better. I focused on the US market and CNN only so far, it is my ground zero. https://ift.tt/vc8oENU June 10, 2022 at 02:07AM
Show HN: StreetComplete, an OpenStreetMap Editor for Humans StreetComplete is an OpenStreetMap[0] editor directed at people who want to contribute and want to do this using their smartphone, without learning how to edit things[1]. It is available as an Android application. It is intended to be used as one walks, with quests appearing as markers on the map. Selecting a marker allows one to answer a simple question. The answer will be added to the OpenStreetMap database, with app handling selecting objects for editing, transforming answer into OSM tags and making edits. OpenStreetMap account is needed to apply edits, but it is possible to start without it, make some edits and login/register later. Note: I am not the main author, but I am one of the active contributors. Github page is at https://ift.tt/2g8lasH and https://ift.tt/3nR9PzS shows what was recently released.
