Show HN: Summarize articles and discussions from your HN and Reddit feeds

Hey HN - I spent the last couple of months building a browser extension to make scrolling Reddit & Hacker News a bit more convenient.

I made LiteRead.ai, a Chrome & Firefox extension that summarizes individual posts, articles, and discussions on Reddit, Hacker News, and even YouTube videos.

The idea came from wanting a faster way to skim articles, YT videos, posts, and comments. LiteRead adds a simple "Summarize" button that gives you the key takeaways in various formats: brief, detailed, & notes.

It's free to signup and try, and has a pay-to-go pricing model if you decide it's useful for you.

This is my first launch, and I'd love feedback on how it could be improved. Some things I'm considering next:

- Supporting more sites/platforms

- Adding more customization for summary style & length

- Supporting more browsers

Check it out here: https://literead.ai

Thanks for giving it a look. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
