Article Slimmer is an app that lets the user paste in a link to an article, and with the press of a button - slim it down!
- Paste a link into the box - have it summarized!
- Limited Summaries Available (100 per day)
- Paste button for easy link placement (auto-paste upon entering app?)
- Information about how much the article was slimmed down.
- Google Material design
- Option for unlimited requests
- Saved article summaries
- Share article summaries
- More to come (suggestions welcome)
The app uses an api called SMMRY (I'm not the author) that uses an algorithm to sort through strings of words in an article in order to rank the sentence importance and sift through sentences that are more information and less bloat.
Article Slimmer is currently using the free version of the SMMRY API, and so is limited to 100 article summaries per day. Until an account system is created, users will be limited to however many requests are left within the app.
Big shout out and thanks to the authors of SMMRY and smmry.com for making this available to developers!
