Comment on Show HN: Summaries of interesting content, written by people

Comments

This is great! Love the cute effect when dragging! I think the content of TL;DR should be in Wiki a'la StackOverflow, so people can refine it together. And probably showing a couple, not just one, as TL;DR can be very opinionated. And/or show if the TL;DR is written by the content owner to give "authoritative" feeling. Anyway I understand if it's too much then it won't be "TL;DR" anymore, so you must find the balance.

Hi, thanks for the feedback we're glad you like it! To answer your questions: - all tldrs are editable by users, so that the content can be refined by the community. - we feel that tl;drs should convey the message and tone of the author of the underlying resource and as such shouldn't be opinionated. - we would love to help content owners author, spread and control tl;drs of their content. If a content owner here is interested in talking with us about such opportunities, please contact us on twitter or by email
