Hello, this is my first original post on Product Hunt. I just made this last night, so my advanced apologies if it feels unfinished or buggy. Basically the idea is "Native TLDR" When content on the web appears lengthy at first glance, users tend to skim it or skip over it completely. The internet phrase for this is "TL;DR" (Too Long; Didn't Read"). You can't afford to lose visitors this way. By implementing Native TLDR on your web page, your users can enjoy custom summarized versions of your web content without ever leaving your site. Any content you want excluded in a TLDR version of your page, simply wrap in .tldr, and that content will be hidden by your users' TLDR viewer if they choose to turn it on while browsing your site. Most existing content summarizers rely on AI (artificial intelligence) to create best-guess summaries of news articles. The technology is incredible, but they fall short. In many cases, they take users away from your brand experience by making them view your content in a separate app; and since an algorithm is creating the summary, you lose all creative control. Perhaps you'd want the TLDR version of your photo journal post to show a line of text, and 3 images instead of 10. Or, maybe a summarized version of your news post should include 2 specifically important quotes an algorithm may not think to include. These are creative brand-defining decisions that only you should make.
