Last summer/fall, there was a wave of projects to summarize HN articles with GPT.

I’m curious if anybody uses summarization as part of your regular HN browsing, and if you have recommendations for tools.

I use the Hack app on mobile. I’d love a summary button for articles when I don’t understand the headline.

Twice in the last week, I've gotten a sales email from a saas startup shortly after visiting their public site. One was a YC company and the link was from here.

Are they perhaps using a service that offers unique emails for anonymous website visitors, from third party cookies?

We just raised pre-seed via a convertible note. Two founders are the only shareholders, and we want to pay ourselves a small amount.

We can save overhead and get better tax treatment if we issue dividends instead of taking a salary via payroll. Any reason not to do this?

Not seeking legal advice - we will talk to our lawyer. Question is whether this is discouraged in the HN community for any reason, i.e. would complicate future fundraising.

I find the easiest way to learn a new language/platform is to get an example app running and mess around for a while - but it's often hard to find the right code for this. Is there a good reference of good example code bases?

For example, right now I'm learning Swift and looking for example apps. There are a bunch on Github, but I'm not sure which are best for learning. I could apply some heuristics like best commented / most watched, but seems like there should be a better way.

How do you all find example code bases to play with? If this is a problem for others, I'd be willing to put together a reference website for this - would anyone want to work on this?
