This is clever ! Reddit is basically a goldmine of intent data that most businesses ignore because it's hard to mine at scale. I've done manual Reddit research for side projects and it's exhausting. The "someone mentions X problem in r/Y" signal is high-quality, but you have to catch it fast before it gets buried.
Question: How are you handling rate limits? Reddit's API can be aggressive, and scraping without hitting 429s is an art. Are you using the official API, or did you find a way to monitor without hitting the limits? Also curious about your alert delivery... email and browser notifications make sense for real-time, but have you considered Slack/Discord webhooks? I could see folks wanting to pipe this into their team channels.
Solid use case. Good luck !
Please give it a try, have you reviewed it?
