Show HN: Search for a domain expert on Reddit

When I searched for my own account, it didn't show up. When I searched for a topic, it showed me a user with the same name as the topic. When I did find some users claimed to be experts, I found their mood over the year and the main link was to a HN comment of them.

I am not sure how to use this, what makes a user a domain expert?

It's all kinda confusing.

I searched for photography and none of the regulars on /r/photography (including myself) came up.

This tool is interesting but it is fundamentally an exercise in turd polishing because Reddit is a completely terrible place to get "expert" advice. It's designed to be a place for show and tell with commentary and false appearance of consensus.

If you want expert advice you should be asking for it somewhere that's properly formatted for long form discussion. You should also seek out advice in a specialized community, not a general one like Reddit. For every piece of good advice on Reddit there's ten pieces of terrible advice and ten pieces of mediocre advice you could find yourself on Google offered up by the riff-raff that happen to be passing through that day. Reddit is just polite 4chan. If you want expert advice to somewhere where only people who are interested in the topic you want advice on are (usually forums).

Edit: Also this tool thinks I am an expert in hipsters. I like to think I'm an expert in calling people hipsters.

FYI the system just looks at a subset of subreddits:

/r/dataisbeautiful

/r/news

/r/worldnews

/r/technology

/r/programming

/r/cars

/r/stock market

/r/cryptocurrency

/r/all

Basically didn't want to build an insanely large database for a simple demo.

I'm guessing they are running some legal risk there.
