Show HN: TLDR (short) news website with my own algorithm (excerptdaily.com)

3 points by superdario ↗ HN
I'm actively working on a news shortening website. Trying to save you from clickbaits, save your time and save you from reading Bible-sized articles What I hate the most when reading news is reading Bible-size articles just to find the main point of the article. Usually journalists write a bunch of unnecessary information just to create 400+ long articles and position better on Google.

Worst of all are those clickbait titles or titles that tell you a portion of information just to make you intrigue and make you click on the article.

For me personally, it is very annoying and frustrating. I like to spend like 30 seconds tops on an article, I want to get the information as fast as possible and move on.

So with my [ExcerptDaily](https://excerptdaily.com/) I'm trying to:

* Save people's time

* Inform you as fast as possible

* Give you the main point of an article in 5 sentences

* Save you from clickbait or half clickbait titles

I wrote my own algorithm and tried a few of them, now I'm focusing on my own algorithm and making it better. I focused on the US market and CNN only so far, it is my ground zero.

This is the best of these attempts I've seen so far.
This looks great, a while back I was working on a website called https://justfive.news really liked your layout and all
