It doesn't work for me. I entered some domains on the web, but nothing happens. e.g. it takes me to this url: http://pointsapp.co/index.php?ur... but doesn't show anything

@_jacksmith I apologize— I just fixed a bug that prevented you from being notified that the website you are trying to summarize is unable for summarization. As for the reason for the error: you had mistyped a space before the URL. Here's the summary you would see: http://pointsapp.co/index.php?ur... I should also point out that the app summarizes content-centric pages (such as news articles) first and foremost and can also be applied to some alternative types of websites, however it's not really designed for general domains (like http://facebook.com and the one you tried to summarize). I'm sorry that this was not made clear. Some example URLs to try summarizing: http://time.com/3825163/google-h... http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/13... Additionally, this summary was generated from one of the posts on the Vungle blog: http://pointsapp.co/index.php?ur... Those are just a few examples— hope this helps!

Reminds me of Summly. How do you ensure you are capturing the most important points?

Hi Product Hunters, I am a sophomore in high school and I created Points when I was looking for a way to summarize my lengthy homework readings into a few key bullet points. Points uses a language-processing algorithm that I wrote to determine which sentences matter most on a given web page. In addition to this Web version, I have submitted a major update for Points for iOS to Apple which is currently awaiting approval. I would be happy to answer any questions and any feedback would be much appreciated!
