Playing devils advocate, I'd really prefer this kind of functionality as a separate browser add-on - i.e. unlinked to my reddit signon.

For privacy you needn't require the reddit ID of your users. Simply that they want to save something from reddit to their tryunearth.com account.

I appreciate you raising this concern, I honestly never thought about that.

When you say that, I envision the extension overriding or extending Reddit's save button functionality by making an API call to the unearth backend. Is that kinda what you had in mind?

Exactly. Have an initial import functionality in onboarding, where the user could somehow import their currently saved content. Thereafter you could have an extension that implements a 'save to unearth' button cleanly into reddit's UI.
