Hey 👋 I’m the solo founder behind 12tldr. I built this because I was drowning in long reads every morning and wanted a dead-simple way to get the essence without the fluff. What you see today is v1: paste URL → instant structured summary (bullets + context + why it matters). Free, no signup, no BS. I’d love your honest feedback: - Does the summary format actually help you? - What article sources do you want it to handle better? - Would you use a Chrome extension? Happy to answer every comment. Thank you for checking it out! 🚀
