Hey everyone, I'm a CS Junior and I built HackerSwipe as a side project because I got frustrated opening Hacker News stories that sounded interesting from the headline, but turned out to be something totally different once I clicked. The idea was to make HN feel a little easier to browse without losing the fun of discovering new stuff. So instead of just showing headlines, HackerSwipe turns stories into cards with short AI summaries, a match score, and an estimated reading time. If something looks interesting, you can dive in faster. If not, you move on. A couple of things I cared about while building it: - the feed adapts to what you actually read - stories you like are saved in a separate tab - the feed still keeps trending and random picks, so it does not get repetitive - you can view your stats such as favorite categories and swipes I tried to keep it lightweight and useful rather than overcomplicating it. You can try it with no signup, and I would really appreciate feedback on whether the summaries help, whether the recommendations feel accurate, and what would make it more interesting/useful. Thanks for checking it out!
