Summarization
Sharing HN Insights, a webapp I built that highlights trending themes and summarizes discussion threads from the front page.
This started earlier this week as a toy project to test out Gemini 3 Pro in aistudio. I found the POC useful, so I decided to productionize it. I've included the original seed prompt below:
> Create an app that creates a summary of the comment threads for hacker news front page. The UX should be similar, but clicking the comments instead opens a summary. The summary is generated when clicked so it can gather new threads.
To productionize, I used Claude Code and heavy use of Agent SOPs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45998644).
