dev-tracker-reddit

📊 Project Summary

dev-tracker-reddit is a lightweight Reddit bot that highlights comments from specific users — typically game developers — within threads. The goal was to make it easier for large communities to spot valuable insights or updates that often get buried in busy discussions.

While the script itself is small, it had a noticeable impact in several game-related subreddits where dev comments are easily missed. By surfacing those replies, the bot helped shift attention back to the people actually building the games.

To make setup accessible, the bot includes a one-click Heroku deployment. I also created a short video tutorial to walk through setup and usage: Watch on YouTube.

I later built tracker-reddit-discord, which serves a similar purpose but is focused on Discord communities instead of Reddit. It forwards noteworthy Reddit comments — such as those from developers or trusted users — directly into Discord channels.

Like the original, it supports one-click Heroku deployment for ease of use. It was especially useful for Discord servers built around games or modding communities, where members might miss important Reddit updates.
