Free Summarizer

I was skeptical but this is actually pretty good. Here's a 5 sentence summary of a blog post I published yesterday, titled Giving Credit is the CEO's Job: Since Product Hunt began, we've acknowledged makers of products using an "m" badge within the product discussion. Until recently, makers had no ability to add their teammates to give them the same recognition. Thanks to Andreas, Lukas, Jonno, makers can now add others that helped them build the product, by simply clicking the "add teammate" button and entering their Twitter username. I hope this is just a reminder for most and I encourage you to give your teammates a hat tip on Twitter, Slack, or email right now.

This is absolutely awesome.It has earned the first base position on my Bookmarks bar. The accuracy and efficiency of this is spot on. Thank you!

Just tested this out and it seems to do a pretty good job. The sentences are not broken like the output of most summarizers. Cool tool to have in your toolbox.

Pretty well done, any chance of an API for this soon?

Nice! I wrote a JavaScript library that summarises text at https://github.com/jbrooksuk/nod... I wonder what kind of algorithm you're using?

Love the idea, would like more transparency into the summarizing process to help with confidence that I don't miss anything. A summary can look like its a good summary, but I don't know what I don't know...

Tried it on a narrative couple of paragraphs and got really bad output. Incomplete sentences and many of the rest were off. Granted I'm pretty picky on writing, but wasn't impressed. Will try again based on some of the replies here, but didn't wasn't impressed the first time.
