Show HN: A rich daily digest feed for Hacker News
I made a feed that contains rich information from every article (title, description, image), and also from the Hacker News discussion.
The feed is very convenient for reviewing Hacker News content weekly and picking what to read out of the myriad of articles.
The backend is Ruby on AWS Lambda, with the brilliant [metainspector gem](https://github.com/metainspector/metainspector) to extract rich content.
