FAQ
What is this page?
It is the Hacker News front page, re-ranked exactly like news.ycombinator.com, with an AI summary and a key quote attached to every story so you can decide what to read without opening each link.
How are the summaries generated?
Zeli fetches the full text of each linked article, then uses AI to extract a 2–3 sentence summary and the most striking quote. For Ask HN threads it summarizes the top answers instead.
Is Zeli free?
Yes — completely free, no account needed. You can also install it as an app (PWA) on your phone.
How is this different from news.ycombinator.com?
The ranking is identical to the official front page. Zeli adds summaries, quotes and 30 languages on top; discussions still happen on Hacker News itself.
