Thank you for trying out the extension and for this great suggestion!
We've actually been thinking along similar lines. Here are a couple of improvements we're considering:
1. Built-in prompt templates - Support multiple flavors (e.g. On similar to is there already, in addition to knowledge of up/down votes, another one similar to what Simon had - which is more detailed etc.)
2. User-editable prompts - Exactly like you said - make the prompts user editable.
One additional thought: Since summaries currently take ~20 seconds and incur API costs for each user, we're exploring the idea of an optional "shared summaries" feature. This would let users access cached summaries instantly (shared by someone else), while still having the option to generate fresh ones when needed. Would this be something you'd find useful?
the shared summaries sounds like a great idea to save most people's inference cost! There might be some details need to figure out - e.g. the summary per post need to be associated with a timestamp, if there are new comments kicking in after that (especially hot posts). Still i think it's good useful feature and i will definitely read that before browsing details.
