TLDR: Build a quick HN profile to see how little context LLMs need to personalise your feed. Rate 30 posts once, get a permanent ranked homepage you can return to.

Our goal was to build a tool that allowed us to test a range of "personal contexts" on a very focused everyday use case for us, reading HN!

We are exploring use of personal context with LLMs, specifically what kind of data, how much, and with how much additional effort on the user’s part was needed to get decent results. The test tool was a bit of fun on its own so we re-skinned it and decided to post it here.

First time posting anything on HN but folks at work encouraged me to drop a link. Keen on feedback or other interesting projects thinking about bootstrapping personal context for LLM workflows!

Nifty! Is there a github or source for this?

Sadly not! It lives in our FE monorepo at work, it just kind of jumped out at us as something to split out and demo once we started using it to test some of our ideas. Its something wed consider for sure, but for now the lack of an open repo is kind of a bit of tech debt in a way. Easier to dev in our monorepo to get something out fast.
