Hey folks -- I created 10 Minutes A Day because I was spending too much time 'doomreading' in comment threads, in an effort to stay up to date on what was going on in the tech world. While I love Hacker News and other news aggregators for what they can teach me, I found myself often unhappy reading through hundreds of comments that while, entertaining, ultimately made me feel bad.
The concept of 10 Minutes A Day is extensible beyond just HackerNews, but the Hacker News dataset was a great place to start as it is often a go-to for news around technology and new projects.
It was built on top of Flask, React, OpenAI GPT-4o-mini (to drive down costs), and generally uses a few different prompting techniques to make things work as intended, because GPT-4o-mini can be frustrating to instruct.
10MAD is going to be extended across different news verticals in the future (once I have the time).
