I like the idea of a brand management app for Reddit, but when I visit this link I simply have no idea what I&#x27;m looking at.<p>Edit: The site logo doesn&#x27;t take me to the home page (which it should) but having found that it&#x27;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&#x27;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.<p>Some feedback -<p>I almost didn&#x27;t put in the work to parse your page. Visually, it&#x27;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.<p>Also, I wasn&#x27;t able to add a tracking keyword as a demo user. That&#x27;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&#x27;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<p>[1] <a href="http://metareddit.com/monitor" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;metareddit.com&#x2F;monitor</a>

I really like what I&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x27;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 &quot;Tracker must be at least 5 characters long&quot; is a bit of a problem. How to track something like &quot;Yo&quot; for the Yo App or &quot;Gaza&quot; for the current unrest there?

No clue what I&#x27;m looking at. ios, appletv, ipod?

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