I use to spend a lot of time on Reddit looking for conversations that were relevant to my business. Promoting our products in the context of those conversations usually resulted in sales leads.

I built a tool earlier this year that streams comments from those forums, analyzes them, and pings me when a relevant conversation is found. I generally keep it running throughout the day in my local Terminal.

Would you mind sharing this tool? Or at least more info about how it's built? I'm using huginn to do something similar but it's a bit janky.

It's not online. I suppose I could spin it into a web application if the demand was there.
