Show HN: Real-time Reddit tracking and brand management

I like the idea of a brand management app for Reddit, but when I visit this link I simply have no idea what I'm looking at.

Edit: The site logo doesn't take me to the home page (which it should) but having found that it's now more clear what this does.

I really like it but, I would recommend you change your domain. Firstly, you are opening yourself up to trademark suite by using reddit in your domain name. Even if that isn't an issue, it also forces you to only work with reddit. Down the track, you might decide to make this turn-key and start integrating with twitter, instagram etc... but, your domain name will halt you there.

I like the concept a lot - I was on a thread about the Lyft perks of reddit gold, and a Lyft rep was doing an awesome job of answering questions, joking around, and customer support. I think if companies really understand the (unique) dynamics of reddit, it can be one of the most powerful (and human) places to connect with people.

Some feedback -

I almost didn't put in the work to parse your page. Visually, it's probably not the first thing you want to hit your users with. I would take people to a landing page where you can clearly explain what it is you do, with the ability to click through to this page and see a demo.

Also, I wasn't able to add a tracking keyword as a demo user. That's important.

I wonder how they are getting around the Reddit API limit of 1 call every 2 seconds. I guess if they pull enough data back each 2 seconds they might be able to parse all of it...?

Love it and was looking for something like this. Wish there was a cheaper plan though (more keywords, without the SMS etc). I'd require an email as users can easily make multiple accounts and never pay. This is a free service on metareddit[1] as well for one-keyword

I really like what I've seen of the product so far. One suggestion: the home page is a bit violent (for lack of a better word), the way the content swings into place very non-subtly. I would dump all of that effect, it doesn't appear to actually serve any purpose - other than to be flashy - and makes it much harder to just read about TrackReddit.

Pretty cool, just signed up. Like everyone else said, I'd probably change the link to direct to your normal landing page. Also, the animations are pretty jarring on the landing page, especially if I try to jump to a section before I've been there. This is one of those times that I think just removing all the animations would be a big help.

Great, but what happens if Reddit changes their API or SLA, or just plain shuts you out? Business = poof.

Interesting but "Tracker must be at least 5 characters long" is a bit of a problem. How to track something like "Yo" for the Yo App or "Gaza" for the current unrest there?

No clue what I'm looking at. ios, appletv, ipod?

Tried to search for the mentions of "Coub", it tells me that search term should be at least 5 characters. Oh dear.
