Show HN: TechBullets

HN,

With an overwhelming amount of tech news being reported every day - I have always struggled to find the time to read the articles, even when I want to.

So I created a solution for myself where I extract key points of the articles and present them as bullet points, for readability. I figured others might be feeling the same way, so I am making it available publicly.

I update it every hour. I would really appreciate any suggestions on improvement. I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback.

nice, but one thing the logo looks a bit rubbish on my macbook pro retina

It's a great idea, and I definitely relate to the problem you're solving. I've used http://tldr.io in the past similarly.

Differences: - they don't include a photo - usually a smaller number of bullets (3-5) - their audience is broader than just tech

While I really loved it myself, it seemed like I was the only one summarizing the HN front page. That or this would be so awesome with a little more community embracement.

The concept reminds me of Infobitt and also S+C's Snippets. I think the concept is a great idea. Your implementation is too verbose still and has too many bullet points - it should be maybe a maximum of 4 bullet points per item, and if you want to read more you have a link to an article somewhere.
