Very cool. Here's an accurate 5 sentence summary of my recent blog post:

This could be a useful Chrome extension built on Twitter. Instead of clicking through to read articles, simply hover over a shared article in your timeline to get the summary. #savedyouaclick 😊

@rrhoover this is an interesting idea. So the next thing that I'm currently building on top of this is a Facebook bot. You can send it links and it'll parse and send you the summary. Chrome extension would probably be easier to build though

@rrhoover Absolute +1 to the Chrome extension. I went through the site expecting to find one. Gimme gimme! :D

@oelmekki @rrhoover sure! I can modify the source code to return a json in response to something like POST {"url": "http://summarize-me.com"} to the url endpoint 'http://site-url/api/v1.0/summary'

@oelmekki @rrhoover I just implemented the API. Give it a try. curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"url": "https://www.technologyreview.com..."}' "https://explaintome.herokuapp.co..."

@jjangsangy I'm currently using Aylien (http://aylien.com/) to handle article summarization. How does your application compare to other services available?

@_bilaal I've used both the Aylien and AlchemyAPI summarizers and the core algorithm is likely a similar graph based Summarizer. The real advantage is actually much better article extraction. They likely have custom extractors for the most popular pages

@jjangsangy Seems like this could be really cool paired with a podcast/audio engine like https://narro.co, so you could listen to the summaries! (Docs here: https://docs.narro.co)
