Creator here. I built Snapbyte because I stopped having the time/energy to browse Hacker News / Reddit / Lobsters / Devto regularly, but I still wanted to keep up with things worth reading.Snapbyte collects posts from multiple tech communities, filters them based on your interests, summarises them, and sends you a personalised email digest on a schedule you choose.You can try it without creating an account (the homepage shows real example digests).Some implementation details: Runs as a set of small services on my k8s cluster. Scraping via trafilatura. Summaries via gemini-3-flash-preview. Mix of TypeScript / Python / GoHappy to answer questions, especially around scoring/filtering and what sources people would want next.Note: if this post makes it to the HN front page, it’ll likely show up in Snapbyte digests tomorrow.
