Another thing to do with a reddit JSON feed, you can paste the URL into:
json-csv.com and it will turn the JSON into a CSV file. Then you can mess around with the data in Excel.

Heck, you could buy reddit.pics and set it up so others can just plug in subs to their hearts content- of course that might take off and you might be stuck with a hefty server bandwidth cost. Heck, if the internet at large figures out how to use it to build NSFW collages, etc…

Y’know, maybe you shouldn’t make it extensible. It’ll all end in tears and flames.

@ Chris Wellons:

Yes, infinite scrolling is a great idea. I was considering adding it, but I figured I should get the basic functionality first. But yeah, that’s the next thing I’m planning to add.

As for the url, how about shadowban.me or shadowban.us? Shadowban.club? Shadowban.technology? :P

@ Wesley:

Oh, neat. I didn’t actually realize you could get a .tk for free. Thanks for the link. I do not see that many .tk domains around these days. I guess this might be a bit like the ultra-cheep .info domains that everyone stopped using because they became really popular among scammers and spammers.

What really sold me on iwantmyname is that they offer WHOIS masking for free. Godaddy on the other hand charges like $18/year for and equivalent service.

@ Gothmog:

That’s actually an excellent idea. I’m going to add that after I’m done with infinite scrolling. :)

Wow, Luke! Well done! You should have a form at the top of your page that we could add different subreddits so we could cook our own…

iwantmyname asking for money for .tk domains is bullshit.

You can get them for free.

It’s really, really scetchy, but free, so I use it a lot for quick/temporary one-off DNS entrys.
Also, beware that they save your (non-hashed) password.

This is really slick! Would you consider adding infinite scrolling? You could use the “after” argument to cleanly continue from where it left off.

I’ve been considering getting a domain for my shadowban test tool: nullprogram.com/am-i-shadowbanned/ (notice the URL change when querying a name). I haven’t come up with any good ideas, though. A domain like shadowb.an could be cool, but .an isn’t available anymore. There’s no .ed, which would have been good for an am-i-shadowbann.ed domain.
