#2I 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.

#3I 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.

#5Love 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 agree - I use Reddit and I was still confused for a little while. I ended up finding another site [0] that did a similar thing and they explained it well.
"monitor all new comments, submission titles and self-texts posted to reddit for a word or phrase."

#7Pretty 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.

#8I 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.

#9I 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...?

The API calls return lists of results, which tend to be long enough that it's trivial to read in all new comment and post data from Reddit. I think the maximum limit on the list size is 100 items, so that's up to 3000 comments/minute, which exceeds Reddit's actual post rate.
