_^03/09/2024 #### inShort.news [inShort.news](https://mirza.town/inshortnews/){target="_blank"}, a small project I put together to make keeping up with the news a bit less overwhelming. The idea was simple: pull in the latest headlines, summarize them using [Groq](https://groq.com/){target="_blank"}'s LLMs, and display them in a way that’s quick and easy to skim. [NewsData.io](https://newsdata.io/){target="_blank"} handles the data sourcing. Sometimes, though, the results can be a bit off—like when you get 20 posts in a row all about baseball. Sorry in advance for that. On the frontend, I used [htmx](https://htmx.org/){target="_blank"} to keep the experience interactive without relying too much on JavaScript, and [Shoelace.style](https://shoelace.style/){target="_blank"} for a clean and modern UI. When you click on a news card, the content of the original article is pulled and summarized in real-time, if it's not cached already. :^) --- Update - 20/06/2026 Decided to pull the plug on this project. It was fun while it lasted but I'm not using it anymore.
