K-TL;DR is a Chrome side-panel extension that turns any web article into a clean, bullet-point summary in seconds — always in YOUR language, even if the article is in French, Chinese or Arabic. It strips ads and clutter with Mozilla Readability, summarizes only the actual article, and keeps your history in the cloud. Free: 3 summaries/day, no card required. PRO: $4.99/mo. Built solo, serverless (Plasmo + Supabase + OpenRouter), hardened by 5 security audits before launch.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Krzysztof, a solo developer from Poland. I built K-TL;DR because I was drowning in 15-minute articles — I wanted ONE click that gives me the key takeaways, in my own language, without leaving the page. What makes it different: 🌍 Summaries always arrive in YOUR language — even from foreign-language articles 🧹 Mozilla Readability strips ads/menus, so the AI sees only the actual article 📌 Lives in Chrome's side panel — you read the article and the TL;DR side by side Tech, for the curious: React + Plasmo (MV3), Supabase (Postgres/RLS/Edge Functions), OpenRouter for AI, Lemon Squeezy for payments. Went through 5 security audits before launch — happy to share war stories. Free plan: 3 summaries/day forever. I'd love your feedback — I read and answer everything!

Building a Chrome extension that summarizes articles in your own language — launching Sept 17

Hi everyone I'm Krzysztof, a solo developer from Poland. In two weeks I'm launching
K-TL;DR a Chrome side-panel extension that turns any article into a
bullet-point summary, always in the reader's own language (even if the
article is in French, Chinese or Arabic). The problem I built it for: I read a lot of long-form content in several
languages and wanted ONE click that gives me the takeaways without leaving
the page or pasting text into ChatGPT. A few things I learned building it solo: Extracting clean article text is harder than the AI part ads, cookie banners and comment sections poison the input. Mozilla Readability solved it. Server-side limits are non-negotiable. Anything the client can claim, the client can fake. I ran 5 self-imposed security/code audits before publishing. Best decision of the whole project. Two questions for you:
1. What's the one feature you'd expect from a summarizer that most tools miss?
2. Do you read more in your native language or in English? Free plan is 3 summaries/day if you want to try it feedback very welcome
