Lead of Chrome DevRel

tldr.rocks [code] is a simple service that I created to summarize the Hacker News posts and the sentiment of the comments.

I built this tool because as part of a DevRel team it's important to understand how the people that we work with (developers) feel about our work and the platform as a whole. It can take a lot of time to go through each of the comments to understand what the issues are, so I built this tool to help me find the most important comments.

This tool isn't a replacement for spending time in the ecosystem and understanding needs, but helps to identify critical challenges and how teams might address them.

The UI is a simple Hugo static CMS. The Generative AI is managed by Breadboard (a project that I work on) and Anthropic's Claude using the Breadboard "Claude Kit".

Stay in the loop.

I'm trialing a newsletter. Join for monthly insights into web dev, Chrome, and the open web.
