Why I built this

I was drowning in articles, reports, and documentation. Existing summarizers gave me generic bullet points that missed the real value, so I built something better.

What it does

5tldr offers three modes:

  • 🔍 Deep Dive – Institutional‑grade analysis with critical thinking, evidence tables, and mind maps
  • ⚡ Gist – Quick bullet points when you just need the key takeaways
  • 📱 Social – Turn any article into Twitter/LinkedIn threads

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js 16 + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
  • Backend: Go + Gin
  • AI: GPT via OpenAI API
  • Content Extraction: Jina Reader API
