How pray tell ... I was looking into doing that.

hack4supper··on Tell HN: Copper CRM will Charge for 12 months if you Cancel on first day
I did that. But they refuse to do so. They say that you have to pay for the entire 12 months, even though the account was cancelled by their team.
hack4supper··on Show HN: Summary Brew – Summaries for Top 300 HN Stories and Books
Now I think that is a neat idea, a combination of the post and the best summary on the home page or like the first 2 lines of the summary, since some can run quite long, with a link for the rest of the summaries.

Thanks bud for the suggestion.

hack4supper··on Show HN: Summary Brew – Summaries for Top 300 HN Stories and Books
Hmm I did have for a moment this page as the home page - https://summarybrew.com/summaries/top, but wasnt sure if people will like having that as the home page.

I should do a survey about which page should be in the front, well to ask any HN readers who now check out the site, could you let me know that is the current home page the way to go or is this one https://summarybrew.com/summaries/top

Also your idea of unrolling the entire summary text on clicking something like "summary" is awesome, didnt think of that.

Thank you kindly for your words of support and your suggestions.

hack4supper··on Show HN: Summary Brew – Summaries for Top 300 HN Stories and Books
Thank you for your kind words ... as for my personal life, I am still fighting to make things better.

I did think of adding a quick line on the main page, but never implemented it, thinking it will be self explanatory, but you are right, to have it until the site gets popular.

Yes the stack is Elixir + Phoenix. I was a rails and meteor guy prior to that. I like really like Elixir as a language, the excellent documentation helped quite a lot. Also the community around it is very eager to help. As for Phoenix, again its the community weight that shows its strength, being helpful and adding more open source libraries every week. I think if there was one feature where rails at the moment triumphs phoenix is in the number of open source libraries/packages/gems. Elixir + Phoenix sips on server memory.

Could you kindly explain more about how a pinboard archival account compares to summarybrew.

Again thanks for leaving a comment.

hack4supper··on Show HN: Summary Brew – Summaries for Top 300 HN Stories and Books
Hey HN, I made this project during a very difficult time of my life. I was unemployed and was having a non stop roller coaster in my marriage. This project was created due to my own frustrations of having multiple tabs open of articles and not reading them ... and just hoarding on tabs (some have been open for 2 years). This is the first iteration. Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. Any suggestions are also welcome. Also awaiting any other comments.
hack4supper··on Show HN: Summary Brew – Summaries for Top 300 HN Stories and Books
I am not sure if I got your question correctly, but to answer, to the best of my understanding ... its the top 300 posts at any given time ... and they change everyday (even every hour)
hack4supper··on Show HN: More feedback for Show HN stories
Thanks for making this, like yourself, I have posted my projects on Show HNs about 8 times in the past and didn't receive any feedback.

Edit: Talking about I am gonna post one now.

hack4supper··on Show HN: Summary Brew
Hey Ryel, Thanks for checking it out. I didn't think of that idea, of automating the summaries and letting the community edit them. Initially when I thought of the app, I resisted automating summaries since thats what a lot of summarizing algorithms do but still miss out crucial parts. But your approach has a fix for that problem.
hack4supper··on Why we switched from Python to Go
Hey thanks for that link ... I was aware of go having coroutines available as part of the language but not that something similar to what erlang provided was available to the go system as well...
hack4supper··on Why we switched from Python to Go
hi riku_iki, I just checked out the link akka.io and it says that it caters to java/scala only ... from your last statement I understood that it was meant for java and go.

hack4supper··on The New Firefox and Ridiculous Numbers of Tabs
I am in the same boat as you. I hoard on tabs, having over 200 Chrome tabs on my macbook pro, over 350 on the Ubuntu desktop, same over 350 on the Windows Desktop and 16 Safari tabs on my iPhone 6. Finally to help with this issue I made https://summarybrew.com

hack4supper··on Show HN: Summary Brew – for articles, videos, podcasts, books, research papers
Hi HN, Any suggestions, or bugs you find, I am all ears. I built this as I was having an issue myself of having too many browser tabs left open at all times, since I didnt get enough time to finish reading all the articles that I want to, from HN. Having a community, who has already taken the time to read those articles and create a summary and helping others save time and gain objective knowledge from the articles is what summary brew is all about.

hack4supper··on iPhone 6 Plus Teardown
For those standing right now in the line up to pick this up at the local Apple Retail Store, if you didn't already know, its got 1GB ram. I had hoped at least time it would be 2GB ram, but alas. As the iPhone 4s will struggle running iOS8 in the same manner this model will struggle running future iOS versions maybe iOS 10 or later.
