Summaries are for scanning
They help you decide which stories are worth opening, not replace the original article or community discussion.

Summary principles
Original sources stay visible
Digest items link back to the original story or source thread whenever source links are available.
Topic context matters
Summaries are used inside digests shaped by selected topics, sources, language, schedule, and timezone.
AI has limits
Generated summaries can miss nuance, so important details should always be checked against the original source.

What gets summarized
Snapbyte.dev summarizes stories collected from supported developer sources such as Hacker News, Lobsters, Dev.to, GitHub Trending, and Reddit. GitHub Trending contributes public repositories and README content, while the Reddit source combines r/programming, r/webdev, r/MachineLearning, r/LocalLLaMA, and r/artificial. The original link remains the best place for full context, comments, updates, and source-specific discussion.
Summaries are designed to be short enough for scanning a digest and specific enough to help you decide whether to open the original story.
Why this matters for readers
Summaries should reduce scanning time without pretending to be the original source. Snapbyte.dev keeps source links visible so important details can be checked in the article or discussion thread.
